Instagram transcript
Speech-to-text for a reel.
Instagram publishes no caption track, so this reports 501 rather than fabricating one, see the endpoint docstring.
Instagram publishes a post's view count only for video. Photo and carousel posts return null rather than zero, because zero would be a claim we cannot support.
Share and save counts are visible only to the account that owns a post. No public surface carries them, so we never populate them.
The example response below is real output from this endpoint, not an illustration. Long lists and long strings are shortened to keep the page readable, and each place that happens is marked. This example took 12.3s.
