Instagram Reel URLs

videoUrls

Required

Public Instagram Reel URLs to transcribe — one per line, from a single link to thousands. instagram.com/reel/CODE/, instagram.com/reels/CODE/, instagram.com/USER/reel/CODE/, /p/CODE/ and /tv/CODE/ all work. Profile and explore URLs are not single Reels and will be reported as errors.

Type:array

Min. items:1

Spoken language

language

Optional

Two-letter language code (en, es, pt, ar, fr…). Leave blank to let Whisper detect the language — that is the default and it is usually right. Setting it helps on short or noisy Reels where detection can pick the wrong language.

Type:string

Transcribe the audio with Whisper

allowWhisperFallback

Optional

On (default), and it needs to stay on. Instagram publishes no caption track to a logged-out viewer, so Whisper speech-to-text is the only way a Reel becomes text — every successful row is charged asr_transcript. Turning this off makes every Reel return a free CAPTIONS_UNAVAILABLE error, which is useful only as a way to stop the Actor spending anything.

Type:boolean

Default:true

Maximum Reel length (seconds)

maxDurationSeconds

Optional

Reels longer than this are skipped with a DURATION_EXCEEDED error and are not charged.

Type:integer

Minimum:5

Maximum:1200

Default:600

Maximum length to transcribe (seconds)

maxAsrDurationSeconds

Optional

Whisper costs roughly a second of CPU per 1.5 seconds of audio, so a per-video price only works up to a point; past this length a Reel returns ASR_DURATION_EXCEEDED and costs nothing. The default of 180 s covers the great majority of Reels. Instagram does not tell an anonymous viewer how long a Reel is, so this is enforced from the downloaded audio's own header — before transcription starts, and before anything is charged.

Type:integer

Minimum:5

Maximum:1200

Default:180

Maximum Reels per run

maxVideos

Optional

Safety cap on how many URLs from the list are processed.

Type:integer

Minimum:1

Maximum:10000

Default:1000

Whisper model

whisperModel

Optional

Accuracy vs speed. base is the recommended balance; small is noticeably better on accented speech and noisy audio, and noticeably slower.

Type:string

Default:base

Options:

tinybasesmall

Whisper beam size

beamSize

Optional

Decoding beam width. 1 is fastest; higher is marginally more accurate and slower.

Type:integer

Minimum:1

Maximum:5

Default:1

Concurrency

concurrency

Optional

How many Reels to resolve at once. Whisper transcription is always serialised regardless of this setting, to keep the run inside its memory limit.

Type:integer

Minimum:1

Maximum:10

Default:5

Include failed Reels in the dataset

includeFailedItems

Optional

On (default): unavailable, private, too-long and non-Instagram URLs get a dataset row carrying an error code, so you can reconcile inputs to outputs. Failed rows are never charged.

Type:boolean

Default:true

Retry on a residential IP when Instagram refuses the request

useResidentialFallback

Optional

On (default), and worth leaving on. Instagram refuses far more datacenter addresses than the other short-form platforms do; when it answers the normal proxy with a bot check or a login wall, that one request is retried through Apify's residential proxy. Only requests the cheap route already refused use it.

Type:boolean

Default:true

Proxy

proxyConfiguration

Optional

Proxy used to reach Instagram. Apify Proxy is recommended: the run pins one proxy session so that a Reel's media file is fetched from the same IP that resolved it, which is what Instagram's CDN requires.

Type:object

Default:

{
  "useApifyProxy": true
}
