That's an interesting idea Gael. I'll look into it, but I don't think I will be able to detect that.

OK, thanks

Hi Gael, I found a way to detect this, but it would make the scraper quite a bit more expensive. How valuable would this information be to you?

Here's a sample data return of what I can detect, but it costs more to get. As you can see there is a field "reel_mentions", that has a field "display_type": "mention_reshare" indicating this reel is a repost. It also shows who it's reshared from. In this case "username": "larahlezy.

If it adds a lot of value, I can consider adding some or all of these fields:

Awesome Louis, it's interesting for me. Ideally, I would love to have the url of the original post, such as https://www.instagram.com/stories/larahlezy/3653150956425705327/ in that case. But it's already a good step to have the username mentioned. Also, do you think it's possible to get the text of the post ? "Puur toeval maar vandaag.... "

Sorry Louis, actually I misunderstood what I had to do. I'm searching for posts that are published in a story. So for example this one : https://www.instagram.com/stories/larahlezy/3653342503997817447/ My goal is to assess if someone published a post of somebody else in her story. So I want to know the original post, such as https://www.instagram.com/p/DKsGYqrIIPX/ in that particular case. It seems the "code" field could provide this information. And maybe there's another key such as is_reshare_of_text_post_app_media_in_ig that is true in that case ?

Yes, that would also be possible. I can detect "story_feed_media" which contains the "media_code": "DKsGYqrIIPX"

"story_feed_media": [
        {
            "end_time_ms": 86400,
            "height": 0.5,
            "is_fb_sticker": 0,
            "is_hidden": 0,
            "is_pinned": 0,
            "is_sticker": 1,
            "media_code": "DKsGYqrIIPX",
            "media_compound_str": "3651321481257845719_52597749",
            "media_id": "3651321481257845719",
            "product_type": "feed",
            "rotation": 0,
            "start_time_ms": 0,
            "tap_landing_id": "3651321466854672425_52597749",
            "uncapped_height_ratio": 0.657692307692307,
            "uncapped_width_ratio": 0.876923076923076,
            "width": 0.5,
            "x": 0.5,
            "y": 0.5,
            "z": 0
        }

As mentioned before getting all of these detailed detections is quite a bit more expensive for me than the current setup. I would have to release a new scraper where you just pay for the number of stories scraped instead of a fixed monthly fee. What price would make sense for your use case?

See here for all info I can return from a story:

Hi Louis, that's awesome, thanks for the work. I don't have much knowledge on the requirements to run the scraper and the time it takes. From what I see in the other instagram scrapers I'm using, a price between 2 and 3 dollars per 1000 results would be ok as it's close to the range I'm seeing already.

Ok, I'll look into releasing a new Instagram stories scraper that will be charged per result containing much more detailed information.

OK thanks !

Just released the story details scraper. You can find it here: https://apify.com/louisdeconinck/instagram-story-details-scraper?fpr=7p4wu
