Instagram is Meta's photo and video social network, used by brands and creators to publish content, engage with audiences, and run campaigns.

With Erathos, you can integrate Instagram data into PostgreSQL in just a few minutes. Our platform handles the entire data movement process to your analytical environment, allowing you to blend this data with other sources in your Data Warehouse. This way, your time is focused on what truly drives value: extracting critical insights and making data-driven decisions.

### What Instagram data does Erathos sync with PostgreSQL?

The integration automatically syncs key Instagram objects:

- **Posts**: posts, reels, and carousels published on the profile
- **Content metrics**: reach, impressions, likes, comments, and saves per post
- **Stories**: views, replies, and exits
- **Followers**: follower growth over time
- **Comments**: text, author, and timestamp of each comment received
- **Profile**: general account metrics, such as profile visits and link clicks

### Why sync Instagram with PostgreSQL?

In PostgreSQL, Instagram data becomes available as a reliable operational source, ready to feed internal applications or queries using standard SQL.

### How it works

Erathos connects to Instagram via official API and syncs your data incrementally—only new or updated records are processed in each run, keeping pipelines fast and costs predictable. You choose the sync frequency (from 5 minutes to daily), the objects to sync, and the destination dataset in PostgreSQL. Every run is logged with full observability: execution time, rows processed, errors with context, and instant alerts via Slack or email if anything goes wrong.
