Second this!
Hello, I just performed a test run and was able to retrieve videoViewCount for reels without issues. Would you please share a run link where you're experiencing this?

Hi, Take Run ID ynDVph7XyXCw3RtHU for example, the response is as below. This is called by API. I also tried to call by Web, but got no difference. Wondering if any configuration relative to this?

Thanks for sharing! It appears that there are differences among various types of reels, for some the videoViewCount is being scraped, and for others not. Our delivery team will look into fixing this in the upcoming sprint. We'll keep you posted.
Done, please check sample run: https://console.apify.com/view/runs/Qf01s5oXoIhbfvOrG Please let me know if you have any questions or comments

Hi, I tried it but got the result like profile data: https://console.apify.com/actors/runs/MffInfD285f8aZ5eT#output is there any setting problem? thanks.
Hi! Changes rolled back, getting full details leads to proxy burnout in less than a day, so can not be applied for actor
Solved as alternative input: https://console.apify.com/view/runs/MnSoSWytOZwAzfQ7y You can re-run actor using relative names of reels like "reel/Cs9I0ourLY0" or "p/Cs6wc9Wr33N/" and get more details

Looks like I can't use name "taurustw88" but have to use "reel/Cs9I0ourLY0" or "p/Cs6wc9Wr33N/" or else to retrieval videoViewCount . Will this be the final solution or can be planned to use "taurustw88" in the future? Thanks for the help.
Right now its less details by profile name and full details by shortCode because when actor getting full details for all reels by profile name(s) its doing more calls to Instagram and all apify actors users in around a day generate too many calls to Instagram leading to burning out of proxy pool when most of IPs banned temporarily by Instagram. We looking for solution but at the moment there is no quick answer when or how we can achieve better performance.
