Hello,

There is playCount in the objects, this is the only stats we can get and I think it is the one you are looking for.

Hello again,

Thanks for your reply!

I understand that playCount is available, but I must clarify that other properties — such as video_view_count — are also returned by the Instagram API. Here's a direct example from the API response:

{ ... "video_view_count": 541, "video_play_count": 2498, ... "is_video": true, ... }

This data is really important for us — without access to it, we may no longer be able to use this actor.

Hope this helps clarify, and looking forward to your thoughts.

Good day.

Hello,

Can you please elaborate on where you get this JSON? Unfortunately it is not available on web and mobile, they both use play count as the view count.

Hello,

I see the issue already. "view_count" isn't included when retrieving videos from the main user page API endpoint, it's only available when fetching the data for that specific video/post.

Since it uses a different endpoint I can guess its not possible to add that prop right?

Hello,

Unfortunately it is not possible right now. Can you please share more details on which endpoint you saw it?

Hello,

Its these two: fb_api_caller_class: RelayModern fb_api_req_friendly_name: PolarisPostActionLoadPostQueryQuery

They belong to the official Instagram API "https://www.instagram.com/graphql/query"

You should see it when fetching a reels data, like https://www.instagram.com/reels/DHopVW8ILSz

Hello,

I see, we are not using the official API that's why we cannot access those.

Cheers
