Read an endpoint catalog as a release ledger

A decision-gated guide to separating target resources from callable Instagram methods. DewEngine has no live Instagram endpoint connector and no provider approval. It supplies no scraping, evasion, or anti-detection route, and no DewEngine pricing is published. The page inventories design questions rather than available methods. Each resource, action, event, account product, and failure must earn an independent release record before appearing in runtime discovery. Unsupported behavior must remain visible to clients and documentation.

Educational research only. Instagram account access remains decision-gated. No DewEngine Instagram connector is approved or implemented.

Decision boundary

An endpoint name is not implementation evidence

Profiles, conversations, messages, posts, comments, reactions, and media are useful resource categories, but listing them does not establish an authorized Instagram product. DewEngine keeps this work decision-gated with no released adapter. Scraping, control evasion, and anti-detection mechanisms are excluded. Every future method needs a selected official or otherwise approved path, exact account eligibility, customer purpose, schema, conformance fixtures, and an operating release record.

Catalog design

Separate resources, operations, and events

A clear catalog identifies a resource such as a conversation, then lists each supported read, write, and event independently. A profile read does not imply search; a message list does not imply send; a post create action does not imply editing or insights. Keeping these units separate lets capability discovery report precise gaps. It also prevents documentation from inheriting broad claims when only one narrow method has been tested.

Account products

Scope methods to the connected identity

Instagram behavior can depend on account category, application review, permissions, linked business context, and provider changes. The account record should expose which product was authorized and which methods that exact identity may use. A generic provider label is insufficient. If a resource is unavailable for an otherwise healthy account, the API should return a stable capability reason rather than an empty object that looks like missing customer data.

Method truth

Show admission and provider outcome separately

A write endpoint first decides whether the workspace, account, capability, policy, entitlement, and pacing permit admission. Only then can a worker attempt a provider action. Responses should distinguish accepted work from provider acknowledgement and later delivery or visibility. A method that times out after dispatch needs reconciliation or an indeterminate state. Endpoint documentation must name these transitions so client code does not turn queue acceptance into false success.

Versioning

Let evidence expiry remove a capability

Provider permissions and behavior change, so a release manifest needs a tested account type, method version, event coverage, known limits, evidence date, and policy gate. When approval expires or conformance no longer matches, discovery and documentation should fall back together. Deprecation should give customers a migration path without maintaining a fictional method. A static route cannot be the source of truth for a changing runtime surface.

Publication gate

Generate availability only from released manifests

Before any endpoint appears callable, its schema, authorization, tenant isolation, native identifiers, pagination, idempotency, error mapping, rate behavior, fixtures, consented real-account smoke, webhook result, support view, retention, deletion, and kill switch must pass. OpenAPI, SDKs, console controls, and marketing copy should derive from the same record. Until that system exists, endpoint examples belong to research and must remain visibly non-executable.

Questions

Before you build.

Which Instagram endpoints are available in DewEngine?+

None are released. The repository names target resource families for research, but it has no live Instagram connector, approved provider path, or method-level conformance record.

Why not publish the planned method list as beta documentation?+

A planned name can be mistaken for a callable contract. Publish it as a design proposal until authorization, implementation, account-specific capability tests, failures, and operating controls are evidenced.
