Instagram Music Finder 🎵
Searches Instagram's music library by song name using Instagram's internal music search API. Returns the Instagram audio URL.
How It Works
This actor uses the same API endpoint Instagram's web app uses when you search for music. With your session cookie, it can:
- Search the full Instagram music catalog
- Return exact audio_id matches
- Bypass anonymous-search login walls
Setup: Get Your Instagram Session Cookie (5 min, one-time)
- Open Instagram in a browser and log in: https://www.instagram.com
- Open Developer Tools (Cmd+Option+I on Mac, F12 on Windows)
- Go to Application tab → Cookies →
https://www.instagram.com - Find these two cookies and copy their values:
sessionid(required) — long string like12345%3AabcXYZ...csrftoken(optional but helpful) — shorter string
⚠️ Important:
- Keep your sessionid private — it's like a password
- Use a secondary Instagram account for safety (don't risk your main account)
- Cookies last ~3 months before needing refresh
- Don't log out of that account in a browser, it invalidates the cookie

Use in n8n
After deploying, replace your "Search Instagram for Sound" + "Extract Instagram Audio URL" nodes with a single HTTP Request node:
The output gives you bestMatch.audioUrl directly — feed that into your Reels scraper.
