Instagram Reels Downloader API

The API allows users to download Instagram Reels by inputting the URL of the desired reel.

About the API:

The Instagram Reels Downloader API is a tool that simplifies the process of downloading Instagram Reels. This API allows users to input the URL of the desired reel, and the API retrieves the reel and provides it to the user in a downloadable format.

Instagram Reels are short-form videos that can be up to 60 seconds long, and they have become increasingly popular on the platform. However, there is no built-in feature for users to download Reels directly from Instagram, which can be problematic for those looking to save and repurpose content.

The Instagram Reels Downloader API solves this problem by providing a simple and efficient way to download Reels. This can be particularly useful for businesses and individuals who want to save their own content or use content created by others for marketing or promotional purposes.

Instagram Reels Downloader API FAQs

The GET Reel Downloader endpoint returns video and image URLs, height, and other metadata related to the reel. The GET Get Reels endpoint provides information such as the hosting platform, shortcode, caption, type of content, and a download URL for the video.

Key fields include "video" and "download_url" for the video file, "image" for the thumbnail, "height" for video dimensions, and "caption" for the reel's description. These fields help users identify and utilize the content effectively.

The response data is structured in JSON format, with key-value pairs. For example, the GET Reel Downloader response includes fields like "video," "height," and "image," allowing users to easily parse and access specific data points.

The GET Reel Downloader endpoint provides video and image URLs along with dimensions, while the GET Get Reels endpoint offers metadata such as captions, hosting details, and download links, enabling users to gather comprehensive information about the reels.

The primary parameter for both endpoints is the URL of the Instagram reel. Users must ensure the URL is in the correct format (e.g., https://www.instagram.com/p/C8RvwWqtAl9/) to retrieve the desired content successfully.

Users can download the video using the "download_url" field for repurposing content or sharing. The "caption" field can be used for context in social media posts, while the "image" field serves as a thumbnail for previews.

The data is sourced directly from Instagram's public content. The API retrieves reels based on the provided URL, ensuring that the content is current and relevant to the specified reel.

Data accuracy is maintained by directly accessing Instagram's content through the provided URLs. The API retrieves real-time data, ensuring that users receive the most up-to-date information available for each reel.

General FAQs

Zyla API Hub is like a big store for APIs, where you can find thousands of them all in one place. We also offer dedicated support and real-time monitoring of all APIs. Once you sign up, you can pick and choose which APIs you want to use. Just remember, each API needs its own subscription. But if you subscribe to multiple ones, you'll use the same key for all of them, making things easier for you.

Prices are listed in USD (United States Dollar), EUR (Euro), CAD (Canadian Dollar), AUD (Australian Dollar), and GBP (British Pound). We accept all major debit and credit cards. Our payment system uses the latest security technology and is powered by Stripe, one of the world’s most reliable payment companies. If you have any trouble paying by card, just contact us at hello@zylalabs.com

Additionally, if you already have an active subscription in any of these currencies (USD, EUR, CAD, AUD, GBP), that currency will remain for subsequent subscriptions. You can change the currency at any time as long as you don't have any active subscriptions.

The local currency shown on the pricing page is based on the country of your IP address and is provided for reference only. The actual prices are in USD (United States Dollar). When you make a payment, the charge will appear on your card statement in USD, even if you see the equivalent amount in your local currency on our website. This means you cannot pay directly with your local currency.

Occasionally, a bank may decline the charge due to its fraud protection settings. We suggest reaching out to your bank initially to check if they are blocking our charges. Also, you can access the Billing Portal and change the card associated to make the payment. If these does not work and you need further assistance, please contact our team at hello@zylalabs.com

Prices are determined by a recurring monthly or yearly subscription, depending on the chosen plan.

API calls are deducted from your plan based on successful requests. Each plan comes with a specific number of calls that you can make per month. Only successful calls, indicated by a Status 200 response, will be counted against your total. This ensures that failed or incomplete requests do not impact your monthly quota.

Zyla API Hub works on a recurring monthly subscription system. Your billing cycle will start the day you purchase one of the paid plans, and it will renew the same day of the next month. So be aware to cancel your subscription beforehand if you want to avoid future charges.

To upgrade your current subscription plan, simply go to the pricing page of the API and select the plan you want to upgrade to. The upgrade will be instant, allowing you to immediately enjoy the features of the new plan. Please note that any remaining calls from your previous plan will not be carried over to the new plan, so be aware of this when upgrading. You will be charged the full amount of the new plan.

To check how many API calls you have left for the current month, refer to the ‘X-Zyla-API-Calls-Monthly-Remaining’ field in the response header. For example, if your plan allows 1,000 requests per month and you've used 100, this field in the response header will indicate 900 remaining calls.

To see the maximum number of API requests your plan allows, check the ‘X-Zyla-RateLimit-Limit’ response header. For instance, if your plan includes 1,000 requests per month, this header will display 1,000.

The ‘X-Zyla-RateLimit-Reset’ header shows the number of seconds until your rate limit resets. This tells you when your request count will start fresh. For example, if it displays 3,600, it means 3,600 seconds are left until the limit resets.

Yes, you can cancel your plan anytime by going to your account and selecting the cancellation option on the Billing page. Please note that upgrades, downgrades, and cancellations take effect immediately. Additionally, upon cancellation, you will no longer have access to the service, even if you have remaining calls left in your quota.

You can contact us through our chat channel to receive immediate assistance. We are always online from 8 am to 5 pm (EST). If you reach us after that time, we will get back to you as soon as possible. Additionally, you can contact us via email at hello@zylalabs.com

To give you the opportunity to experience our APIs without any commitment, we offer a 7-day free trial that allows you to make up to 50 API calls at no cost. This trial can be used only once, so we recommend applying it to the API that interests you the most. While most of our APIs offer a free trial, some may not. The trial concludes after 7 days or once you've made 50 requests, whichever occurs first. If you reach the 50 request limit during the trial, you will need to "Start Your Paid Plan" to continue making requests. You can find the "Start Your Paid Plan" button in your profile under Subscription -> Choose the API you are subscribed to -> Pricing tab. Alternatively, if you don't cancel your subscription before the 7th day, your free trial will end, and your plan will automatically be billed, granting you access to all the API calls specified in your plan. Please keep this in mind to avoid unwanted charges.

After 7 days, you will be charged the full amount for the plan you were subscribed to during the trial. Therefore, it’s important to cancel before the trial period ends. Refund requests for forgetting to cancel on time are not accepted.

When you subscribe to an API free trial, you can make up to 50 API calls. If you wish to make additional API calls beyond this limit, the API will prompt you to perform an "Start Your Paid Plan." You can find the "Start Your Paid Plan" button in your profile under Subscription -> Choose the API you are subscribed to -> Pricing tab.

Payout Orders are processed between the 20th and the 30th of each month. If you submit your request before the 20th, your payment will be processed within this timeframe.
