Only 50 reels instead of requested 200 reels get scraped

Been running the automation couple of times now and it seems that for some usernames its only returning a small % of the requested reels.

Just requested 200 reels of an IG acc and got only 50 back. Tried it multiple times

on another IG profile I checked and have seen that it tracked the requested 200 reels but it just takes any reels and not follows the order of the most recent uploaded ones. That actually makes all the data not useable.

Hi!

Profile with 54 scraped reels is restricted by age: https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/7muZ8nxZIDBHoDAaA/items?clean=true&format=json that's probably why not all the reels scraped by your run https://console.apify.com/view/runs/hvObnaUbnPCeEFCa9

As for ordering - it is not very accurate because reels are saved as soon as each reel is scraped, please use export with a third-party tool like Excel and reorder by time.

I will close the issue now, but if there is anything else we can help with, please let us know.

Hi Alexey and thank you for your quick answer.

Noted regarding the age restricted account.

But regarding the ordering - I ordered the reels via an Airtable automation and also via Excelt. - BUT I'm talking about that the API is missing out on a lot of reels. It's not taking only the most recent ones. It misses out on a looot of reels. Why?

Hi!

The actor is receiving reels without a logged-in Instagram account, so evaluation should be done using an incognito browser, such as https://www.instagram.com/humansofny/reels/. If you do not see some reels without logging in, it means that access to such reels is limited, and therefore, they are not public.

If you have a direct example of when reels are visible in an incognito browser for the given profile but not scraped, please let us know.
