Media › Transcript
Returns the spoken words in an Instagram video or reel of up to 2 minutes as text. A video with no speech returns 404 with reason no_speech, free of charge.
Use it when you need what was said in a video rather than its metrics; pass the reel or video URL. Photo posts and videos over 2 minutes cannot be transcribed.

Returns the text shown on an Instagram post's images, read by AI: the photo, each carousel slide up to 10, or a reel's cover frame, with results per slide. Use it for text designed into a post, like carousel headlines; the caption lives on post and spoken words on media/transcript. Text shown later in a reel is not read. **100 credits** per call. Re-running the exact same call within 6h is free.
Music › Trending GET
Returns a chart of licensed tracks trending on Instagram, each with title, artist, audio and cover artwork URLs, and usage details. Use it to spot sounds worth posting with. It takes no region: the chart follows the viewing account's market. **100 credits** per call. Re-running the exact same call within 1h is free.
