Query parameters
instagram.com post, reel or video permalink (https://www.instagram.com/p/{code}/, /reel/{code}/, /tv/{code}/, optionally prefixed by a username; query strings and fragments ignored).
true returns the reference's trimmed projection at the top level as xdt_shortcode_media: id, shortcode, __typename, thumbnail_src, display_url, video_url, has_audio, product_type, video_duration, clips_music_attribution_info, is_video, owner, edge_media_to_caption, edge_media_to_parent_comment, edge_media_preview_comment, taken_at_timestamp, edge_media_preview_like, is_paid_partnership and location.
Default true. false answers from the media document alone: the comment edges are empty, the comment counters stay, and coverage reports comments_omitted (status partial). Carousels still read the post page for their child shortcodes.
