Overview

Our Instagram Video Downloader API is a robust tool for extracting direct media links and metadata from Instagram videos. Whether you need to download Instagram videos in high resolution or retrieve metadata for content analysis, our API delivers:

• Supports High Resolutions: Download videos in the best available quality, including 4K, 1080p, 720p, 480p, or 360p.

How It Works

1. Input JSON Data

Submit Instagram video URLs and proxy configurations via JSON. If no custom proxy is provided, the API defaults to Apify’s Residential Proxy for optimized performance.

2. Media Extraction Process

The API scans each URL and intelligently selects:

• The best progressive stream for lower resolutions.
• Separate video and audio streams for higher resolutions.
• A backup progressive download link for user convenience.

3. Output JSON Data

After processing, you receive a JSON array for each URL with all extracted download links and metadata, ready for integration into applications or workflows.
