[Request] media field

Closed

inca opened this issue
2 months ago

Would like to request to have a media field:

media: [ { "id": -> post_id, "content_id": -> id of the content, "video_url": -> url of the video, "engagement_score_view": -> video_view_count, "video_duration": -> duration of the video }, { "id": -> post_id, "content_id": -> id of the content, "display_url": -> url of the photo, "tagged_users": -> video_view_count, } ]

Media is generally used to get the list of images/videos per post. e.g. https://www.instagram.com/p/C4XelpTucWM The post having multiple images / videos in the post

Hi! Your sample post (https://www.instagram.com/p/C4XelpTucWM/?img_index=1) is not video, actually there is 3 cases to consider:

In other words we can create media[] array only for some posts (not for all) and media array items might have no video-related values.

Hi Alexey!

https://www.instagram.com/p/C0S-mR2v-J9/ Please see example with images and videos.

In other words we can create media[] array only for some posts (not for all) and media array items might have no video-related values. ^ noted on that. would you be able to check if video_view_count exists in such cases where there are videos posted?

Hi Míša, Thank you for this. Will be waiting for your update/s.

Hello, we've discussed this internally and concluded that the best would be to create a customized solution based on your specific needs, as we cannot make this severe mapping changes to the scraper currently serving many other users. Our sales rep Dime will be in touch shortly to discuss the details. I'll close the issue here for now, but should you have any other questions or experience any issues in the future, feel free to reach out again. Best, Míša
