## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to programmatically download or extract media from Instagram posts, reels, carousels, or stories. Prefer this over general web scrapers when the target is specifically Instagram content and you need direct media file URLs. This is the v2 version, which may offer improved reliability or additional media type support over a v1 counterpart.

## Known failure modes

- Private or restricted Instagram account — returns error if content is not publicly accessible
- Invalid or malformed Instagram URL — returns error indicating bad input
- Post has been deleted or expired — returns not found error
- Instagram rate limiting or blocking — may return a timeout or access denied error
- Stories that have expired (older than 24 hours) may not be accessible
