Meta introduces Instagram Reels API for developers
Meta has announced that it is introducing the Reel API for developers to multiple endpoints on the Instagram platform. According to a TechCrunch.com report, the company says that it is introducing new Reel APIs after hearing from its developer community that Reel is the top priority. Meta is expanding the spokes of Reel’s support for content publishing, insights, comment moderation, hashtag search, business discovery, mentions and more.
Developers will be able to use the API to schedule reels and receive social interaction metrics for reels.
The API will also allow developers to reply to comments, delete comments, hide/unhide comments and disable/enable comments on the reel.
In addition, developers will be able to search public reels that have been tagged with specific hashtags. Developers will also be able to identify reels in which the Instagram business or creator’s nickname is tagged or @mentioned.
Meta has stated that these reels will automatically become available to developers who already have access to the applicable API.
