like_and_view_counts_disabled is false but no like counts or view counts appear. Have verified that the particular story has likes and obviously views.

"fb_aggregated_like_count": 0 "has_liked" is also false.

With a view count there doesn't appear to be anything in the result.

Hello,

Sorry the scraper didn't meet your expectations. Here's what you're getting:

Raw Instagram Data: You receive the exact same data Instagram's servers send - completely unmodified.

Missing Data Explained:

View counts: Instagram doesn't share story view counts with anyone except the story owner has_liked = false: Shows as false because the scraper isn't logged in as your personal account

You get the complete, unfiltered Instagram response. This gives you full control to extract whatever data you need, rather than getting a limited version. This is exactly what Instagram returns - we just give you direct access to it.

Should it share captions? I cannot find data coming through for captions. Also do you have any documentation of the fields that are not populated?

Could you clarify what you mean by "captions"? To our knowledge, Instagram Stories don’t support structured captions only posts and reels do. Since this scraper focuses on Stories, that field wouldn’t be expected.

there is a field called "caption" in your dataset.

Here is the instagram instructions: To add captions, record or upload your story, tap the sticker icon, select "Captions," and choose your preferred style. Was added a year ago

It seems this feature isn't enabled for everyone. Do you know of any public Instagram users who post stories like this? As mentioned above, we return the exact response from the requests Instagram makes when loading stories.

Instagram most likely does not return text of the caption in the JSON response. However, if this feature is important to many users of the actor, we can consider scheduling it for a future update.

Ok.. Just checking if the scrape is wired up correctly. Was looking for captions yes or no.
