## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to download or extract media (videos, images) from Instagram Reels, IGTV, posts, or Stories via a URL. It is purpose-built for Instagram media extraction across all major content types (Reels, IGTV, posts, Stories) in a single endpoint, unlike generic scraping tools. Prefer this over browser automation or general-purpose scrapers when you need fast, structured media URLs from Instagram content.

## Known failure modes

- Private or restricted Instagram accounts return no media (access denied)
- Invalid or malformed Instagram URL returns an error or empty result
- Instagram rate limiting or anti-scraping measures may cause intermittent failures
- Expired or deleted posts return no data
- Stories that have already expired (older than 24h) cannot be retrieved
- IGTV content with geo-restrictions may not be accessible
