Parameters

user_id (integer) User ID. REQUIRED
depth (integer) Abstraction of the API pagination. Depth 1 returns X results, depth N returns N * X results. Note that the exact number of results per depth (X) may differ per endpoint. Please refer to the specific endpoint description for more information. REQUIRED
include_feed_video (boolean) If true, also includes videos posted in user feed.
oldest_timestamp (integer) This parameter is used as a stopping condition for fetching posts. If a post older than the provided `oldest_timestamp` is found, the system will stop fetching posts and return the results. For instance, if depth is 10, the system will aim to send 10 requests. However, if an `oldest_timestamp` is set, and we find a post which is older than the `oldest_timestamp`, the system will not send any more requests and return the results. Note: we do not filter out posts older than the provided `oldest_timestamp` before returning the results. Please do this filtering in your own integration if required.
start_cursor (string) Parameter to manually handle pagination. Each response contains a `nextCursor` which can be used to retrieve the next page of results by sending it as the next `start_cursor`. If the `nextCursor` is not present in the response, it means that there are no more results to retrieve.
chunk_size (integer) The number of reels to fetch per `depth`.
token (string) Private token assigned to each client to access the APIs. REQUIRED
