Instagram Music Trending API
Scrape Instagram Music Trending data with one API call. Returns a chart of licensed audio tracks trending on Instagram. Each track includes its title, artist, audio and cover-artwork URLs, and usage metadata: useful for spotting sounds to ride for reach. Takes no parameters, and there is no region or country option: Instagram builds this chart for the account viewing it, so the chart reflects that account's market and cannot be selected. When Instagram answers with its royalty-free sound library instead of a chart, the call returns 503 and your credits are refunded; retry after a minute. For region-scoped Instagram data, use /v1/instagram/search/location and /v1/instagram/location/posts.
