IndReelForge's Instagram upload API supports Instagram's feed formats. Whether you are publishing short-form video content as Reels, creating multi-image carousel posts, or posting single photos, our API handles it all through a unified endpoint.
Reels
Upload vertical videos up to 90 seconds as Instagram Reels. Set cover images, captions, hashtags, and location tags. Reels are the highest-reach format on Instagram, making them essential for any Instagram upload API workflow.
Carousels
Create multi-image and multi-video carousel posts with up to 10 slides. Each slide can be a photo or video. Our Instagram API handles the complexity of carousel creation so you can focus on your content.
Photos
Upload single image posts to Instagram feeds. Support for JPEG, PNG, and WebP formats with automatic optimization. Add captions, hashtags, location tags, and alt text for accessibility.
Quick Start: Instagram Upload API
Getting started with the IndReelForge Instagram upload API takes less than a minute. Here is a simple curl command to upload a Reel to Instagram programmatically. Replace YOUR_API_KEY with your actual API key from the dashboard.
curl -X POST https://api.indreelforge.com/api/upload \ -H 'Authorization: Apikey YOUR_API_KEY' \ -F 'user=my-brand' \ -F 'platform[]=instagram' \ -F 'video_url=https://yourstorage.com/video.mp4' \ -F 'title=Check out this amazing content! #automation #api' \ -F 'schedule_at=2026-11-07T10:00:00Z'
This single request publishes a video as an Instagram Reel with a caption and hashtags, and schedules it for a specific time. The Instagram upload API handles all the complexity of the Instagram Graph API behind the scenes.
