Instagram Scraper
Search Instagram Reels
Use this when you only want Google-indexed Instagram reels matching a keyword or phrase, with optional date filters and pagination. It returns reel media, engagement, owner, location, and audio details. Results are best-effort rather than a complete Instagram-native search. For Instagram-curated topic posts, use /v1/instagram/search/popular. For an exact hashtag across posts and reels, use /v1/instagram/search/hashtag. Pages 1 through 11 are supported; page 12 or greater returns a 400 response.
