Incorrect videoViewCount for Video posts
Closed
I've noticed that latestPosts.videoViewCount field for video posts are incorrect when compared to Instagram. When using apify/instagram-scraper, I can find the correct value under the videoPlayCount column, but that doesn't exist here. Please advise.
Hi!
I checked manually:
Run for profile details https://console.apify.com/view/runs/TF5txOnG0x6HwdTUs returns videoViewCount: 5266 and run for post details right after it https://console.apify.com/view/runs/yZrnt9mVwqPDBYJIq returns
videoViewCount: 5277- considered correct since its live data, peoples watching it, whatever deviation is as in Instagram, if there is lag between profile details update and post details update we should follow it because its Instagram logic, we not changing it nor adding our ownvideoPlayCount: 15771- also correct, peoples started to play video and its also live however it does not mean that all of them will view video till the end; this value only available from direct post URL, not from "latest" in profile details
To summarize - works as expected, perhaps you just confused by naming conventions.
Hi again, I'm going to close this issue for now, but if there's still anything unclear, please, let us know. We appreciate customer feedback!
