Could you add the date as an input parameter?
Thank you
Hey, do you mean like you would like to get reels only from lets say February 2023? Or what kind of date do you have in mind?

Yes, that's right, I would like to be able to consult only the reels from a specific date
Thanks

I would like to second this request. Similar to how the Instagram API Scraper (apify/instagram-api-scraper) works with the Newer Than and Older Than date parameters. This would be extremely helpful to implement for this scraper.
Hey, as Instagram doesnt have its own filtering/orreding by date, what the actor would do is scroll and scroll and scroll until it reaches the required date. So if you do it with this February, it is ok, but if you did it with December 2019 (exaggerating to prove the point) it would run for hours, consume resources and most likely wouldnt return anything (Instagram wouldnt let it scroll that much into the past...). Thats the reason I am trying to avoid it in these simple one use case miniactors. You can get the reels in the same format though from the Instagram API scraper with the date parameters, I have just tried it, so feel free to use that one.

Thank you for that explanation. I’m curious what the type is when a reel is returned through the Instagram API scraper. When I have attempted to use this method it seemed to only return videos and not reels.
Just to clarify my use case I am interested in getting reels AFTER a certain date that is very recent (The last 24-48 hours).

My case is the same as Wes's, the reels that interest me are recent ones, not old ones. The issue of the date is not to receive old reels that do not interest
