# Instagram reel transcript: run it free, or from your agent

Turn the speech in a public Instagram reel under 2 minutes into text you can copy or download.

## Prompt

Use looot to transcribe this Instagram reel: [link]. 1. Set up https://looot.ai/skill.md. 2. Find an Instagram transcript endpoint in the catalog and check its price. 3. Run it on the link. 4. Return the full transcript, a three line summary, the hook in the first sentence, and the total cost.

## What it needs

An Instagram reel or video post link

## What comes back

- transcript text
- sentences
- video length

## Endpoints and providers

- scrapecreators: scrapecreators-instagram-media-transcript

## What it costs

The tool on the web page runs live at no cost to you and is limited per hour. The results come from public data through looot. For heavier or repeated use, run the same job from your own looot account: looot bills per call and charges nothing while your agent is idle. The live price comes from the catalog and shows on the web page.

## Reuse a script

Get the words of your own reel to turn into a caption, a thread or a blog post.

## Study hooks

Read the first lines of reels that did well in your niche, without replaying them.

## Captions and access

Get text for people who watch with the sound off or need captions.

## Agent summaries

Let your agent transcribe a list of reels and pull out the claims, offers or questions.

## How do I get the transcript of an Instagram reel?

Copy the reel link from the share menu, paste it in the box at the top of this page and run it. The spoken words come back as text with copy and download buttons.

## Is there a length limit?

Yes. The reel must be under 2 minutes. Longer videos return no transcript.

## Does it work on private accounts?

No. Only public reels and video posts. A link from a private account returns nothing.

## What if the reel has only music?

You get no transcript. The tool turns speech into text, so a reel with music and no talking has nothing to transcribe.

## Does it work on regular video posts and carousels?

Yes. A /p/ link to a video post works too. A carousel with several videos returns one transcript per video, joined in order.

## Are there timestamps?

No. The provider returns the text without timing, so this page splits it into sentences.

## Is this Instagram transcript generator free?

Yes. Each run on this page costs you nothing and is limited per hour. For many reels, your agent runs the same endpoint on your own looot account at the per-call price shown above.

## How do I run this from an agent?

Copy the prompt above into your agent with the looot skill.md link. It picks the Instagram transcript endpoint, checks the price and runs it on your link.
