Overview

WakeScrap exposes this Instagram endpoint as a live-data API. The platform keeps the documented request and response shape stable while unifying auth, request tracking, and credits billing.

Generates an AI-powered speech-to-text transcription for an Instagram video post or reel. The video must be under 2 minutes long. Returns a transcripts array with each item's shortcode and transcribed text; carousel posts produce one transcript per video slide. Expect 10-30 second response times, and null when no speech is detected.

Required params: url.
