}Instagram Reels Web Search
Search Instagram Reels through a web search index rather than Instagram’s own search, and get matching reels (caption, likes, comments, creator, and duration). That is what lets it filter by a recency window and page by number, and it is also why the results are whatever the index has crawled rather than what Instagram ranks right now, and why paging tops out around 110 reels per query (11 pages of 10). Instagram does not return view or play counts here. For Instagram’s own live reels search, with view counts, use instagram.reels_search.
Price: $1.20 per 1,000 requests (flat per request - same cost regardless of results returned).
Routing: one lane serves this API today, so a failed attempt has nowhere to fail over to. Payment outcome follows the selected rail’s settlement policy.
Catalog: Instagram Reels Web Search pricing and uptime - live USD price, lane routing, and measured 30-day uptime. Every Instagram endpoint.

}Authorizations
Your AnyAPI key as a Bearer token.
Headers
Optional wallet idempotency key, scoped to this customer for 24 hours. When the gateway honors the key, this synchronous in-process execution can continue after the caller disconnects, bounded by its execution deadline. A completed replayable result charges normally exactly once and can be replayed without another provider run or charge. A pending duplicate returns 409 idempotency_in_progress; reuse with different request semantics returns 409 idempotency_conflict.
1 - 255Query Parameters
Optional. Comma-separated keys (dotted paths like author.name descend into nested objects) to keep on each result item. Keys are matched relative to each result item after the data/items envelope is unwrapped, not against the top-level response envelope, so use jq to reshape the whole envelope. Shrinks the response without changing cost.
Optional. Cap the number of result rows returned; a _truncated note reports how many were withheld so you can page via the API's own limit. Does not change cost.
x >= 0Optional. Return only a structural outline (top-level keys, item counts, and per-field byte sizes) instead of the full data. Does not change cost.
Optional. A jq expression applied to the result envelope; its output replaces output (multiple outputs collect into an array). Reshape freely, e.g. jq=.data | {title, description, md: .markdown[:3500]}. Runs sandboxed with a 250ms / 2MB budget; on failure the full result is returned with a jqError. Does not change cost.
Optional. The most you are willing to pay for this one request, in US dollars (for example 0.05). Any route that would charge more than this is not used, so a request only ever runs on something you can afford. If nothing is available at or below your amount, the request is refused before it runs, nothing is charged, and the message tells you the cheapest price per request so you can raise it. Leave it out to accept the normal price.
Body
Search keyword (e.g. "crossfit").
Optional, default true. When false, only the sources listed in source may serve; the request is refused with no charge if none of them can. When true, the listed sources are tried first and any other source may serve after them, at the normal price.
Recency hint, not a hard filter. Reel discovery runs on top of Google search, so this window narrows Google's index by when it discovered or last crawled the reel, which is not the same as when the reel was published to Instagram. Returned reels can have a createdUtc outside the requested window, and the narrowest window, last-week, often returns older reels or no results. Check createdUtc yourself if you need exact publication-time precision.
last-week, last-month, last-year Optional. Source ids to skip for this request, taken from this endpoint's lanes[].source.id. The cheapest remaining source serves and the price is that of the dearest remaining source. An id that does not serve this endpoint, or that is also in source, is rejected as invalid input with no charge; skipping every source is rejected the same way.
11-based results page.
x >= 1Optional; omit it and routing is unchanged, with the cheapest source serving. Prefer sources whose typical response time (median over the trailing 30 days, as published on this endpoint's lane health) is under this many milliseconds; among those, the cheapest serves. This can raise your price: when the cheapest source misses the target, a faster and dearer one serves, and you are quoted and charged its price. If no source is that fast the request is still served, by whichever source offers the best speed for its price - it is never refused for being slow. Sources we have not timed are tried last. This is a preference, not a guarantee: the median describes past requests and is not a ceiling on this one, and it excludes any wait this request itself asks for. On a paginated walk it applies to the first page only: later pages stay with the source that page chose, at the price it was quoted.
x >= 1Optional. Source ids to prefer, in order, taken from this endpoint's lanes[].source.id in /catalog or /apis. Omit it and the cheapest source serves, with automatic failover. Listed sources are tried first in the order given, then the others, unless allowFallbacks is false. A single source with allowFallbacks false is served only by that source at its price, quoted and charged exactly, with no failover. The price is that of the dearest source that may serve. An id that does not serve this endpoint is rejected as invalid input with no charge; a listed source that is not serving right now is refused with no charge, so omit source to be served by another. On a paginated walk, later pages must include the source that served page one, or omit source.
1Response
Normalized result.
USD charged on the original run. On a replay this value is echoed for parity; the replay itself is free.
Number of result rows returned. For per-result SKUs the per-item cost is charged against this count; for input-priced SKUs the charge is per submitted input, independent of this count.
Normalized output, or null when the replay payload was not retained.

True when matching reels were found; false when the search returned nothing.
Always "AnyAPI".
True when this response replays the durable result of an earlier run without billing or upstream execution.
Optional one-line nudge, absent when there is nothing to say. large_result: suggests the fields/max_items/summary/jq controls for a big response. paging_unavailable: means this result came from a source that cannot return a nextCursor, so it may be INCOMPLETE and cannot be continued - re-run with requireFields: ["nextCursor"] to be served only by a source that can page, which may cost more per request.
Present only when a jq expression failed; output then carries the full unshaped result and this explains why the reshape did not apply.
Opaque handle to the full unshaped result, cached ~15 min. Re-shape it for free (fields/max_items/summary/jq) via GET /v1/results/{id}, no re-billing. Absent when the result was too large to cache.
