## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a real-time snapshot of what Instagram Reels content is currently trending platform-wide, without filtering by a specific account or hashtag. Prefer this over the profile-specific Reels endpoint when you want broad trend discovery rather than content from a known creator.

## Known failure modes

- Rate limiting or quota exceeded returning 429 Too Many Requests
- Payment required error (402) if x402 payment not properly attached
- Instagram platform changes causing stale or unavailable trending data
- Empty result set if trending data is temporarily unavailable
- Upstream Instagram scraping failures causing 500 errors

## How this service works

List currently trending Instagram Reels (not a keyword search, profile-scoped, or audio-page list — use instagram.search.reels.list, instagram.profile.reels.list, or instagram.audio.reels.list for that).

## Output

A list of currently trending Instagram Reels, likely including reel URLs, metadata such as creator handles, view counts, engagement metrics, captions, and other content details that indicate why each reel is trending.
