Instagram & TikTok data infrastructure for builders.
Production Instagram API and TikTok API, open-source Python libraries (instagrapi, aiograpi), and MCP servers for Claude, Cursor, and Codex — used by data teams, OSINT researchers, and indie devs to ship faster.
Three platforms, one stack.
Live APIs for fresh data, datasets and cache for scale, MCP for AI agents — pick your level of abstraction.

Comparisons & deep dives.
Honest comparisons of Instagram & TikTok APIs, Python libraries, and MCP servers — including ours.
Common questions.
What Instagram data can I access?
What TikTok data can I access?
Which AI assistants support the MCP servers?
Is it free?
instagrapi, aiograpi, instagrapi-rest, instagrapi-extra) and Telegram bots are fully open-source.
Can I use it for OSINT or research?
/dossier mode and Maltego CSV export. Several teams use HikerAPI + Datalikers for compliance, brand-safety, and academic research.
