## instagram/post-transcript

`GET /v1/instagram/post-transcript`

The spoken words of an Instagram reel as text. A photo post answers 404 — there is nothing to transcribe.

*Reel transcript*

| Parameter | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `url` | yes | Instagram reel URL (must be a video). — e.g. `https://www.instagram.com/reel/DcuQVFLvJMX/` |
| `dry_run` | no | Read a zero-credit estimate without fetching sources, running AI, or reserving credits. Cache status is a snapshot, not a guarantee at execution. — e.g. `1` |

**Cost:** 5 credits at list price per successful uncached response; variable-cost operations may quote or settle a different charge. Confirmed uncharged or refunded failures report zero. Pending reconciliation can report credits_used:null; retain request_id and the original idempotency key.
