```

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to discover or scrape Instagram Reels content by keyword or topic — ideal for market research, influencer discovery, trend monitoring, or content aggregation. Prefer over manual Instagram browsing or other social scrapers when you specifically need Reels (video) content rather than static posts or stories.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or missing search query returns an error
- Instagram rate limiting or blocking may cause empty results or timeout
- Private or restricted content may not appear in results
- Search term returns no matching Reels (empty result set)
- Network timeout if Instagram is slow to respond

## How this service works

Search Reels Pagination billing: call the first page normally and save billing.requestId from the Orthogonal /v1/run response. For later page, offset, or cursor calls on the same logical search, pass parentRequestId with unchanged non-pagination parameters. Valid continuation calls still get their own request IDs and quoted price, but are charged 0. Changing filters starts a new billable request.

## Output

Returns a list of Instagram Reels matching the search query, including reel metadata such as video URLs, descriptions, creator handles, engagement metrics (likes, views, comments), and timestamps.
