Instagram Comments, Richer LinkedIn Authors, and Clearer Docs

Today's release expands what you can build on Instagram and LinkedIn, updates our privacy terms for Instagram messaging, and cleans up documentation examples across the board:

  • Instagram comment webhooks: Connected Instagram accounts can now receive webhook notifications for comments on posts, in addition to direct messages. If your app requests comment-management permissions during connection, you'll start getting notified of new comments and replies as they come in.
  • Richer LinkedIn comment authors: The LinkedIn comments API now returns author_name, author_username, author_avatar_url, and author_profile_url so you can display who commented without extra lookups. A new resolve_author_names option fetches human-readable names for commenters, with sensible fallback handling when a name can't be resolved.
  • Clearer Instagram DM privacy disclosures: Our privacy policy, terms, and data processing agreement now spell out exactly how Instagram Direct Messages are handled: what's stored versus relayed and discarded, how long stored messages are retained, and what your responsibilities are as the connecting business. Updated September 24, 2026.
  • Easier discovery for AI agents and tools: outstand.so now publishes standard machine-readable endpoints (OAuth/OIDC discovery, agent skill descriptors, and a catalog file) so AI agents and automated tooling can find and understand our API and MCP server more easily.
  • More accurate API examples: Example IDs, URLs, and request fields across our developer guides and website have been corrected to match what the API actually returns and accepts, so copy-pasted examples work on the first try instead of returning errors.
