Is there any way to get all the media with information by one API request Instagram Graph API?

Facebook recently changes its Instagram API. Now I can get all the media ids by requesting from this endpoint-

https://graph.facebook.com/v7.0/{ig-user-id}/media?access_token=...

But it only returns the media Ids, not any other media information such as caption, media_url, comments_count, likes_count etc.

For getting these data, I have to request from the API-

https://graph.facebook.com/v7.0/{ig-media-id}?fields=caption,media_url,comments_count&access_token=...

This is working well but the problem is I have to hit this API for each and every {ig-media-id} which is not a good thing.

So, is there any way to get all the media with information (caption, media_url, comments_count, likes_count) by one API request like-

 https://graph.facebook.com/v7.0/{ig-user-id}/media?fields=caption,media_url&access_token=...
Solution

  • I solve the problem using Nested Request. Special thanks to @Cbroe.

    I've gained the result by using one query after changing the 1st API like this-

    https://graph.facebook.com/v7.0/{ig-user-id}?fields=media.limit(4){id,caption,media_url}&access_token=...
