The Instagram Content Retrieval API retrieves downloadable media from public Instagram posts and Reels.
How it works (Download)
id and progress_url.progress is 100.download_url from the Progress response to retrieve the media (video MP4 or image, depending on the post).Video Information returns metadata (post ID, title/caption, author, media kind, engagement metrics, thumbnail) without completing a full media download workflow when cached/available.
Scope
/p/…) and Reels (/reel/…, /reels/…) — video or image.Use the download_url from Progress to fetch the file. Do not expect the Hub to proxy binary media responses.
You can retrieve downloadable media from public Instagram posts and Reels, including both video and image formats.
To download content, you call the Download endpoint with an Instagram URL and format, receive an ID and progress URL, then poll the Progress endpoint until the download reaches 100%, after which you can use the download URL to retrieve the media.
The Video Information endpoint provides metadata such as post ID, title/caption, author, media kind, engagement metrics, and thumbnail, without requiring a full media download.
Yes, the API does not support Instagram Stories; it only supports public posts and Reels.
Developers can use this API to integrate Instagram media into their applications, create content aggregation tools, or enhance user engagement by displaying public Instagram posts and Reels within their platforms.

x-zyla-api-calls-monthly-used: Shows the total number of API requests you have used during the current billing period.
x-zyla-api-calls-monthly-remaining: Shows the number of API requests you have remaining for the current billing period.
