Audio

Search Instagram audio

Search Meta's licensed audio catalog for tracks that can be attached to an Instagram Reel. Pass a returned audio_id as instagram.audio_id on POST /posts/create (type reel). Omit q to get currently trending audio. Only tracks Meta has authorized for third-party publishing are returned, so the selection can differ from the native app. Requires a Facebook account connected to the workspace whose Facebook Page is linked to the workspace's Instagram account (music publishing runs through Facebook's side of the Instagram API).
