}Stop sharing with an account DELETE
`adAccountId` may be passed as a query parameter (recommended) or as a JSON body field for clients that can send DELETE bodies. Meta only (platform `metaads`); other platforms return 405.
Search Instagram audio GET
Search Instagram's audio catalog (licensed music or original sounds), or list what is currently trending by omitting `q`. Returns up to ~30 assets; Meta exposes no pagination on this edge. Pass the returned `audioId` as `platformSpecificData.audioConfiguration.audioId` when creating a Reel to publish it with that track. Requires an Instagram account connected via **Facebook Login**. Meta hosts this catalog on graph.facebook.com only, so accounts connected with classic Instagram Login receive a 400 (`instagram_audio_requires_facebook_login`) and must be reconnected choosing the Facebook option.
