Upload a Reel to an IG Container

POST https://graph.facebook.com/{{api_version}}/{{ig_user_id}}/media?media_type=REELS&video_url={{video_url}}&caption=Hello World!&share_to_feed=false&access_token={{page_access_token}}

This request will create an IG Container to hold the Reel. It will return a container_id that will be automatically placed into the ig_container_id variable. The media_type parameter will determine the type of video published, in this case REELS. It is important that the link in the video_url variable is accessible publicly as we will cURL the video from the server.
