Everything You Need for Instagram DMs

Read and reply to direct messages without managing Meta's Graph API. List conversations, load history, and send replies from one endpoint.

List Conversations

Fetch conversations for a connected account with each participant name, username, and profile picture, plus the most recent message and updated time.

Read Message History

Load the messages in a conversation, paginated, each with the sender and a timestamp. Rebuild a full thread on your side.

Send Replies

Reply to a recipient with one call. The response returns the sent message ID so you can track delivery.

24-Hour Window Handled

Meta only allows sends within 24 hours of the user's last message. That is a platform rule, not ours, and the API surfaces the failure clearly when the window has closed.

Build Your Own Inbox

Everything the PostPeer dashboard inbox uses is available through the API, so you can build a branded support inbox or wire DMs into your own tools.

No Meta App Review

PostPeer is approved for `instagram_business_manage_messages` and handles OAuth end to end.
