Poll every few seconds until `status` is `completed`, then read [List media](/api-reference/media/list-media). A first sync of a large account takes a few minutes. Needs a `read` or `full` key. ## OpenAPI ````yaml get /accounts/{account_id}/refresh/{job_id} openapi: 3.1.0 info: title: inDM API version: 1.0.0 summary: >- Build, launch and read Instagram comment-to-DM automations from your own code. description: > The inDM API gives your code the same reach as the inDM app: list the posts and reels inDM has synced, pull in new ones, build automations on them, set them live and read how they are doing. Every request is authenticated with an API key created in **Settings → API keys**. Keys belong to one workspace and carry a scope, `read` or `full`. Keys are server-side secrets: the API sends no CORS headers, so a browser can't call it directly. Nothing sends through this API. No DM, broadcast or public reply leaves Instagram by this path, and every automation it creates starts as a `draft`. Setting one `live` is the only call that changes what people on Instagram receive. contact: name: inDM support email: support@indm.social url: https://docs.indm.social servers: - url: https://api.indm.social/v1 description: Production security: - apiKey: [] tags: - name: Workspace description: The workspace and API key behind a request. - name: Accounts description: Connected Instagram accounts, their health, and content refreshes. - name: Media description: Posts and reels inDM has synced from Instagram. - name: Automations description: Comment-to-DM automations.
