Earned media measurement
Everything a brand publishes is owned media. The tagged feed is what other people said, which is the number a CMO actually wants and the one almost nobody instruments.
Instagram API / Tagged
Instagram Tagged Posts API — Posts Other Accounts Tagged a Handle In
What other people posted about an account — the earned-media feed, as opposed to everything the account published itself.

FAQ
Instagram Tagged Posts API FAQ.
Why is this endpoint less common elsewhere?
It is harder to fetch reliably than a feed, so most catalogues skip it. It also happens to be one of the more commercially useful ones, which is why we ship it.
Can the account hide tagged posts?
Yes — accounts can require manual approval before a tagged post appears. What you get is what is publicly shown on the tagged tab.
Does it include reels and stories?
Tagged reels and posts, yes. Story tags are ephemeral and appear through the Stories API while live.
