Feature requests: scraping for one older reel; share count; avg watch time

Closed

coffee_derrick opened this issue

Hey team, we'd love to have the following features:

Scrape an arbitrary reel by ID or URL. Sometimes an older reel will start trending again. If was posted 100 reels ago, then in order to get metrics for this one reel, we'd have to scrape 100 reels. That's costly and inefficient.
Share count. If there's any way to add this, that would be great.
Avg video view time. This is probably the least likely to be available anywhere in the public interface, so I suspect you can't offer this. Would be good to hear one way or the other.

Hi!

You can use direct reel URL(s) i.e. https://www.instagram.com/reel/C_T2iWIyAPQ/ to get reel details: https://console.apify.com/view/runs/QeaHQXIu4k0EMZhaN
Share counters not available, only known way is to get this counter from reels auto-cross-posted to Facebook but no way found to track Facebook cross-posts per given IG profile, therefore trick is pretty useless (works if you have direct Facebook reel URL)
Not have access to video duration, may be its encoded somehow in hashed video URL i.e. somewhere in https://scontent.cdninstagram.com/o1/v/t16/f1/m86/1C464FE3EE3FDCBBE9BDEA3CB63C4AAB_video_dashinit.mp4?stp=dst-mp4&efg=eyJxZV9ncm91cHMiOiJbXCJpZ193ZWJfZGVsaXZlcnlfdnRzX290ZlwiXSIsInZlbmNvZGVfdGFnIjoidnRzX3ZvZF91cmxnZW4uY2xpcHMuYzIuNzIwLmJhc2VsaW5lIn0&_nc_cat=107&vs=1046034910330116_3513618596&_nc_vs=HBksFQIYUmlnX3hwdl9yZWVsc19wZXJtYW5lbnRfc3JfcHJvZC8xQzQ2NEZFM0VFM0ZEQ0JCRTlCREVBM0NCNjNDNEFBQl92aWRlb19kYXNoaW5pdC5tcDQVAALIAQAVAhg6cGFzc3Rocm91Z2hfZXZlcnN0b3JlL0dQNDJSaHNrQ3lCTllMWURBSzhENnU4NXV4SV9icV9FQUFBRhUCAsgBACgAGAAbABUAACaaiLqexrWHQBUCKAJDMywXQBm7ZFocrAgYEmRhc2hfYmFzZWxpbmVfMV92MREAdf4HAA%3D%3D&_nc_rid=60695153ab&ccb=9-4&oh=00_AYBto3gPtO163aIKy5WNHiP-syTpzjyq7QshAbi7WLy_hw&oe=66D9D0E7&_nc_sid=d885a2 - if you have any clue what useful can be extracted from it please kindly share your thoughts

I´m going to close the issue now, but if there would be anything else we could help with, please let us know.

Re #1, that's awesome! Looks like I simply pass in one or more canonical URLs to the username array.

Re: #2 & #3, got it, platform limitations it seems.
