How do I get reels that use a specific sound with an API?

Send a GET request to /v1/instagram/audio/reels with the audio_id parameter. SocialCrawl returns a JSON array of reels using that audio track including author, caption, view count, and media URLs.

Where do I find the audio_id to pass in?

Call /v1/instagram/search/music or /v1/instagram/music/trending first. Each track carries an audio id that you feed straight into this endpoint as audio_id.

How do I page through more reels for a sound?

Each response includes a cursor. Forward it as the cursor parameter on your next request to fetch the following page of reels that use the same audio.

Why is this endpoint cheaper than the search endpoints?

It is a standard endpoint at 1 credit per request because it looks up reels for a known audio id rather than running a heavier search. The music search endpoints are 5 credits.

How much does the Instagram Audio Reels API cost?

It costs 1 credit per page returned (standard tier). New accounts get 100 free credits, so you can pull around 100 pages before deciding to top up.
