Scraping hashtag pages does not include videos post

Closed

I have scrape with url /tags/<tag_name> to scrape hashtags. But I only get the post that has pictures, not reels. Is there any reason for this or solution that I can do?

Looks like IG separated hashtag feed by images and videos, so in latest build actor getting hashtag posts with only images (single or multiple) and videos added now as "Scrape profile reels" or "Scrape videos" input form option equal to "resultsType": "stories" json input value to re-use current input.

Sample runs: https://console.apify.com/view/runs/aEaDy9tYB3RnxIaq0 https://console.apify.com/view/runs/O2LDyPEGuqNpWIeP9

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

Hi Alexey, even changing the search to "Scrape profile reels," it still can’t find videos, only images. I’ve tried various combinations, but it doesn’t work. Will this be fixed in the future?

Galfano85, you using logically incorrect input in your runs, i.e. in https://console.apify.com/view/runs/ld8Gn3rjgvpQeL6kK direct reel URL used as hashtag name and as explained in log 2024-12-13T10:40:16.199Z WARN Sorry, https://www.instagram.com/reel/C_70t44yeDf/?igsh=MXgwbGtibXRvdDVhMA== is not a valid input, skipping.Use hashtag or instagram hashtag URL containing "instagram.com/explore/tags/"
