Overview

Collect one Instagram post into the SOLARI catalog by its public URL or shortcode, and learn who posted it. If the post is already stored, nothing is scraped.

When to use it — When you were given a post link, catalog content detail says item=null, and you do not know the author.

What comes back — Whether it was collected, the post with its author, and the fetch command to crawl that author.
