Instagram Standalone Settings
API settings for posting to standalone Instagram accounts
Instagram Standalone posts use the same settings schema as Facebook
Business-linked Instagram. The only difference is the __type value -
everything else (post type, trial reels, collaborators, image arrays) is
identical.
The audio setting (attaching music
or original sounds to Reels) is not available on standalone channels - the
Instagram Audio API only works with Facebook Login. The audio setting is
ignored when posting, and the audioSearch tool is not exposed for
instagram-standalone integrations.
