  • Shapes: 9:16, 4:5 and 1:1, 9:16 first.
  • Caption: up to 2,200 characters.
  • Videos go out as Reels; photos as a post or a carousel, videos mixed in.

From the dashboard

  1. Connect your Instagram account to a profile, with Instagram’s own sign-in.
  2. Write the post once; the composer checks Instagram’s limits and lets you change the text just for Instagram.
  3. Post now, pick a time, add it to your queue, or repeat it every day, week or month.

03

From the API

One request posts to Instagram, and to any other network you add with more platform[] fields:

cURL
curl -X POST https://api.reelspan.com/v1/posts/video \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $REELSPAN_KEY" \
  -F user=my-brand \
  -F "platform[]=instagram" \
  -F "[email protected]" \
  -F "title=Your caption"

Each network’s result comes back on its own, with a signed webhook when it’s live. See the docs.
