Instagram transcript API and MCP server
Send a public Instagram link, get the spoken words back with timings. One endpoint, plus an MCP server for assistants. Sign in and create a key in a minute.
One endpoint
POST a link. Read the text. There is nothing else to learn.
Four formats
Plain text, timestamped lines, SRT and WebVTT come back in the same response.
Runs in a spreadsheet
One script in Google Sheets fills a transcript column beside your links, thousands of rows deep.
Audio is deleted
The video file is gone when the request ends. The text of a public Reel is kept so a repeat does not run the model again.
Works with agents
The MCP server hands the same pipeline to Claude and other MCP clients.
Built for batches
Six hundred calls an hour on a key, and a balance you can read before you start.
