Instagram Reels Transcript Scraper — from $7.5/1K
Pricing
from $2.50 / 1,000 videos
Instagram Reels, TikTok and YouTube Shorts to text: speech-to-text transcript with timestamps, burned-in captions, the 3-second hook, likes, views and a viral score vs the author's usual. No login. Watch creators on a schedule and pay only for new videos. Failed and private videos are free.
views is now filled for single Instagram reel links. Instagram hides the play count from a logged-out visitor, so a pasted reel link always came back with views: null while profile mode had it. When the free routes give no play count, one lookup to our paid source fills it (checked: 425,410 views for DckEW9NNVsJ). With views present, vsAuthorMedian compares by views instead of likes. The price is unchanged.hook.text.fromDatasetId: a reel code is taken only from shortCode / shortcode / code and only when it looks like a code; before, any short value ({"foo": "bar"}) became a reel link. Links that are already in your list no longer trigger a false "has no video links" row. Error and notice texts of the rows are not searched for links, and an Instagram link without a reel code is skipped.not a url or https://example.com) now gets a plain, free unsupported_url row before anything is downloaded. Error messages no longer contain colour codes.language: ru, "The The", or gibberish in Arabic under an English caption. Such lines are recognised by known phrases (subtitle credits, outros, sound labels like "[Music]" in 15+ languages), the recogniser's confidence scores, repeated words, too few words for the time, and a script that does not match the caption. When nothing real is left, the transcript is empty, speechDetected is false, transcriptSource is no-speech, language is null, and the audio is not charged. Real short lines ("I love you.", "No, no, no.") stay.aiAnalysis, off by default): field ai with hook and why it works, beats with what is on screen, call to action, topic, format, audience, emotion, a reusable script template and the text the model reads on the frames, plus aiModel and aiError. The model (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) looks at frames taken every 2 seconds (at most 12) together with our transcript, the on-screen text and the caption.
