Grow Instagram Profiles with Automated Engagement

ReachOwl profile growth tasks help you grow your Instagram presence by automatically engaging with posts from hashtags. This guide covers creating a growth task, updating its schedule, pausing and resuming, and reviewing results.

Create a profile growth task

Send a POST request to set up a new task targeting a hashtag. You can enable reactions, reposts, or both.

curl -X POST "{{baseUrl}}/api/v1/profile-growth" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer {token}" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "name": "Daily Hashtag Growth",
    "team_id": 3,
    "type": "instagram",
    "source_type": "post_hashtag",
    "post_url": "digitalmarketing",
    "executor_ids": [101],
    "engage_react": true,
    "engage_repost": false,
    "limit": 15,
    "status": "running"
  }'

{
  "id": 55,
  "name": "Daily Hashtag Growth",
  "status": "running",
  "limit": 15
}

Profile growth uses string statuses: “running”, “paused”, “draft”, or “completed”.

Update the schedule

Add or update the timezone and daily window when the task is allowed to run.

curl -X PATCH "{{baseUrl}}/api/v1/profile-growth/55" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer {token}" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "timezone": "America/New_York",
    "schedule": [
      {"day": "monday", "start": "09:00", "end": "17:00"},
      {"day": "tuesday", "start": "09:00", "end": "17:00"}
    ]
  }'

{
  "id": 55,
  "timezone": "America/New_York",
  "schedule": [
    {"day": "monday", "start": "09:00", "end": "17:00"},
    {"day": "tuesday", "start": "09:00", "end": "17:00"}
  ]
}

Pause or resume

Update the status field to pause or restart the task.

curl -X PATCH "{{baseUrl}}/api/v1/profile-growth/55" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer {token}" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"status": "paused"}'

curl -X PATCH "{{baseUrl}}/api/v1/profile-growth/55" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer {token}" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"status": "running"}'

View results

Retrieve the task and its engagement history by adding the include_posts query parameter.

curl -X GET "{{baseUrl}}/api/v1/profile-growth/55?include_posts=1" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer {token}"

{
  "id": 55,
  "name": "Daily Hashtag Growth",
  "status": "running",
  "posts": [
    {
      "post_id": "abc123",
      "reacted": true,
      "reposted": false,
      "engaged_at": "2024-01-15T09:23:00Z"
    }
  ]
}
