Zernio: Instagram Stories en TikTok

Hi Zernio team,

We're adding Instagram Stories and TikTok publishing on top of your API. While testing (spec v1.220.0, 6 October 2026) we ran into a few things:

1. Story insights for Instagram Login accounts
GET /v1/accounts/{id}/instagram/stories/{storyId}/insights only returns cached after expiry when the story_insights webhook arrived, which Meta only sends for Facebook Login. Accounts connected with Instagram Login therefore end up unavailable after 24h. Could you snapshot the final metrics for stories published through Zernio shortly before they expire (e.g. at ~23h), so cached works for Instagram Login too?

2. Unpublish on Instagram
/v1/posts/{id}/unpublish says "Not supported on Instagram". Meta added DELETE /{ig-media-id} on 3 Dec 2025 (permission instagram_manage_contents, Facebook Login accounts; works for feed posts, reels and stories). Is support for facebook_login accounts on your roadmap?

3. Validator and dryRun vs. publish-time rules
POST /v1/tools/validate/post returns valid:true for:
- an Instagram story (contentType "story") with 2 mediaItems. We published one live: only the first image became a story, the second was silently dropped and the post reported "published". Please reject it (or split it into two stories) instead of dropping media.
- a TikTok video without tiktokSettings (no privacyLevel / allowComment / allowDuet / allowStitch), which TikTok requires and your creator-info marks as required
- an unknown Instagram contentType ("reel")
The TikTok dryRun on a TikTok for Business account also returns canPublish:true for every variant we tried (no settings, privacyLevel SELF_ONLY on a video, allowDuet:true while creator-info says duet is disabled).
Could the validator and dryRun enforce the same rules as publishing, or document what happens?
Related: do you preflight story duration (Meta: 3-60 s) and convert PNG to JPEG for story images (we saw PNG arrive as JPEG, so it seems yes)?

4. (Low priority) TikTok recommended hashtags
The TikTok Business API has a recommended-hashtags endpoint. Any plans to expose it?

Thanks!
Jan-Willem
