Issue with Instagram Reels Playcount Scraper – Restricted Page Errors
Closed
Hi team,
I’m using the Instagram Reels Playcount Scraper actor to extract play counts from a list of public Instagram reel URLs. Many of the reels are returning an error: "restricted_page", even though they are accessible in a regular browser without login.
Examples of such URLs:
- https://www.instagram.com/reel/DLjZ8YdtlFg/
- https://www.instagram.com/reel/DLjY37oNmP6/
- https://www.instagram.com/reel/DLjdQLys0bd/
These reels are publicly visible, and do not have any location, age, or login restrictions. Could you please check if there’s a bug or some proxy/user-agent issue causing this? Or let me know how to avoid this error.
Also, please confirm if there's any recent change in Instagram behavior that might affect scraping.
Thanks,
Hi!
All reels mentioned above are restricted by age: "Restricted Video You must be 18 years old or over to see this video"
Reels may be posted publicly, but Instagram can then apply restrictions based on Community Standards.
I will close the issue now, but if there is anything else we can help with, please let us know.
