What Instagram no longer publishes

Instagram stopped exposing some numbers publicly, and no scraper can return them — if a tool promises these, check the actual output:

• Share count — the API returns flags such as can_viewer_reshare, but no number
• Save count — same story
• How many reels use a track — not published

Everything this Actor reports is what Instagram genuinely returns.
