## Use it with your agent

Copy the prompt and paste it into your agent, then tell it what you need.

Read https://scrollport.com/start. Use my existing Scrollport connection, or help me connect if needed. Help me use Instagram user's posts by user id (tool ID: tikhub.instagram-user-posts). Ask me for the details you need, then show me the result.

Provider access is included. If your agent isn't connected to Scrollport yet, it will help you set that up.

## Questions

**Is Instagram user's posts by user id (TikHub) free?**

Scrollport has no free tier: it costs $0.0025 per request ($0.25 per 100 requests), paid per use from a prepaid wallet with no subscription. Connecting your first agent adds $1 of trial credit, so you can try it before adding funds.

**Do I need an API key from TikHub?**

No. Your agent runs it through your Scrollport connection (MCP, the Scrollport CLI or the HTTP API), and Scrollport handles access to TikHub, so you don't sign up with TikHub or manage an API key.

**About this tool**

Recent posts of an Instagram user (keyed by numeric user id) Retrieve one bounded result or page. Pagination is explicit; each follow-up page is another call. The catalog price is the maximum per request. Quotes use the selected limits. Completed requests cost their quote, including valid empty pages and no-match answers. Failed requests are uncharged. Read public social data without a connected social account. Results include reviewed business data and available pagination. The worked example shows selected fields from a recorded response, with at most one selected item from each list. Photo, video and carousel posts have different media fields. video_versions is optional for photos; captions can be empty. The example retains post and author identity, publication time and media type.
