Do I need to log in to Instagram?
No. The tool works with public Reels only, and never asks for your Instagram account.
Is it really free?
Yes. You can run a few lookups a day without an account. For more, or to automate it, create a free account: it comes with 100 API credits.
Do you keep the videos I look up?
We cache the transcript for up to 24 hours so a repeat lookup is instant, and we never store the video itself. See the privacy policy for details.
Why is there no transcript for some videos?
A transcript exists only when the video has speech the platform has captioned. Music-only videos, and videos with captions turned off, have none.
