Automate Instagram reel and video downloads within Telegram

This Latenode automation allows Telegram users to easily download Instagram reels and videos within their chat.

Users can simply send an Instagram link to the dedicated Telegram bot, which will then fetch the highest quality video from a third-party API and send it back directly to the user's chat. The workflow automates the process of retrieving the video file, ensuring users can access their desired Instagram content without having to leave the Telegram app.

How Latenode estimates time and cost

Latenode bills workflow runs in credits: 1 credit = 30 seconds of processing. Minimum charge per run depends on your plan. Plug-and-Play (PnP) AI nodes are billed separately—each PnP token is $1 USD, charged pay-as-you-go at vendor cost plus a small processing fee, with no API keys required.

How it works

1
Trigger

Telegram Bot Receives Instagram Link

The Telegram bot listens for messages from users. When a user sends an Instagram reel or video link, the bot receives and processes that link.

2
Logic

Extract Video URL

The bot extracts the video URL from the Instagram link, fetching the necessary metadata to identify the highest quality version of the video file.

3
Action

Download Video

The bot uses the extracted video URL to fetch the actual video file from the third-party API, downloading the highest quality version of the content.

4
Action

Send Video to Chat

Finally, the bot sends the downloaded video file directly back to the user's Telegram chat, allowing them to view the Instagram content without leaving the app.

Setup guide

1

Add Telegram Bot Token

1. Add your Telegram Bot token in the Latenode Credentials panel. This allows the workflow to authenticate with your Telegram bot.

2

Configure Telegram Bot Node

2. In the Latenode builder, add a Telegram Bot node and configure it with the Telegram credential you added in the previous step. This node will handle receiving Instagram links from users and sending the downloaded videos back to them.

3

Add URL Downloader Credentials

3. Add the API credentials for https://www.mediadl.app in the Latenode Credentials panel. This allows the workflow to fetch the video metadata and download the highest quality video file.

4

Configure URL Downloader Node

4. In the Latenode builder, add an HTTP Request node and configure it to use the URL Downloader credential from the previous step. This node will call the https://www.mediadl.app/api/download endpoint to retrieve the video metadata.

5

Configure Video Download and Telegram Send

5. Add additional nodes to the Latenode builder to: 1) extract the direct video file URL from the API response, 2) download the MP4 video file, and 3) send the downloaded video back to the user's Telegram chat.
