Fetch only the Reels (short-form videos) published by a public account. Pass username_or_id; continue with the pagination_token from the previous response. Items follow the post shape — id, code, taken_at, caption, media_type=2 with video_versions and clips_metadata, like_count, comment_count and play_count — but are restricted to the account's Reels tab, so you do not need to filter mixed feed items yourself.

API Features

Reels-only feed Returns short-form videos directly, skipping photos and carousels in the mixed post feed.

Video renditions video_versions provides playable URLs and dimensions per Reel.

Sound identifiers clips_metadata.audio_canonical_id connects each Reel to the audio endpoints.

Play-count snapshots play_count, like_count and comment_count give per-collection engagement samples.
