What Comes Back for Each Content Type

Nothing is re-encoded on our side. The file you receive is the file Instagram serves.

PhotoA JPG at the resolution Instagram delivers.
Video or ReelAn MP4 with the audio track intact.
CarouselOne file per slide. Photos and videos can be mixed in a single post, and each slide keeps its own format.
StoryA JPG or an MP4, depending on how the story was posted.
Separate audioWhen Instagram's response exposes an audio track on its own, it is listed as its own entry alongside the video.
Multiple qualitiesWhere more than one rendition exists, the default is shown first and the rest sit behind 'More options', each labelled with its file size.

Error Reference
