## Data

- Freshness: 5 minutes
- Keep data: no limit
- Use data: we give you a licence to use the API with your key while your plan is active. The licence is personal to you or your business, can't be transferred, and ends when your plan ends or your key is switched off. What you must not do with the API: Resell, sublicense or publish the raw data the API returns, or offer it as your own data feed or API. Use it to track, monitor, profile or harass individual people, or for any kind of surveillance. Use it to send spam or unwanted messages, or to build lists of people to contact without their consent. Collect data about people you know or suspect are under 18. Try to get around quotas, rate limits or the free-key rules, for example by creating several free keys. Use the data in a way that breaks data protection law, Instagram's terms or the rights of the people it describes.
