Instagram Content

Create platform-optimized Instagram posts, stories, reels covers, and carousel slides using each::sense — the intelligent AI agent that automatically selects the best model for your request.

Quick Start

Requires an each::labs API key. Get one at eachlabs.ai.

Using curl

curl -X POST https://eachsense-agent.core.eachlabs.run/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $EACHLABS_API_KEY" \
  -d '{
    "messages": [
      {
        "role": "user",
        "content": "Create an Instagram feed post for a wellness brand. Soft morning light scene with a ceramic mug of matcha on a linen tablecloth, fresh eucalyptus sprig beside it, overhead flat lay perspective, warm neutral tones with sage green accents, calming and aspirational, square 1:1 format."
      }
    ],
    "stream": false
  }'

Using Python (OpenAI SDK)

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    api_key="YOUR_EACHLABS_API_KEY",
    base_url="https://eachsense-agent.core.eachlabs.run/v1"
)

response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="eachsense/beta",
    messages=[{
        "role": "user",
        "content": "Create an Instagram feed post for a wellness brand. Soft morning light scene with a ceramic mug of matcha on a linen tablecloth, fresh eucalyptus sprig beside it, overhead flat lay perspective, warm neutral tones with sage green accents, calming and aspirational, square 1:1 format."
    }]
)

print(response.choices[0].message.content)

With Reference Image

Maintain visual consistency with your existing Instagram grid:

curl -X POST https://eachsense-agent.core.eachlabs.run/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $EACHLABS_API_KEY" \
  -d '{
    "messages": [
      {
        "role": "user",
        "content": [
              {"type": "text", "text": "Create a new Instagram post in the same visual style as this reference. Match the color grading, lighting, and composition style but feature a different product — a scented candle instead. Keep the same flat lay perspective and neutral background."},
              {"type": "image_url", "image_url": {"url": "https://example.com/instagram-reference.jpg"}}
            ]
          }
    ],
    "stream": false
  }'

Images are sent inside messages using the OpenAI multimodal content format. Maximum 4 images per request.

Streaming

Set "stream": true for real-time SSE responses, or "stream": false for complete result in a single response. Streaming is useful for showing progress in UIs; non-streaming is simpler for scripts and automation.

Instagram Grid Strategy

• Color cohesion — maintain the same 3-4 colors across your grid for visual harmony
• Alternating patterns — rotate between close-ups, wide shots, and graphic posts
• Portrait posts (4:5) take up more feed real estate and get better engagement
• Carousel posts have the highest engagement rate — design 5-10 cohesive slides
• Consistent editing style — same warmth, contrast, and saturation across all posts
