Instagram Monitoring API for Public Accounts
The 1322 Instagram account monitoring API watches a selected list of public accounts for new posts, stories, reels and carousels, including Collab, Paid partnership, Pinned and Location context when present. It is built for live account monitoring rather than profile analytics or follower reporting. No Meta developer app is required. Plans start at $300 per month with Discord delivery; WebSocket is available as an add-on, and the live product can be evaluated in a trial.

An Instagram monitoring API for public accounts
Use 1322 to watch selected public Instagram accounts for new posts, Stories, Reels, and carousels as they appear. It is designed for event-driven monitoring, where a launch, announcement, or creator post must reach a desk or system without repeatedly polling profile pages.
Best fit
- Trading and research desks watching public figures, brands, projects, creators, and launch accounts
- Teams that need ephemeral Instagram Stories captured alongside posts, Reels, and carousels
- Developers routing Instagram events to Discord, a WebSocket consumer, Telegram, or signed webhooks
Know before buying
- The product monitors new public content; it does not provide follower analytics, direct messages, or historical backfill
- Base plans include Discord delivery; WebSocket is available as a source-specific add-on
- A tracked-account plan is capacity for the watchlist, not access to private Instagram profiles
What 1322 monitors on Instagram
