Frequently Asked Questions

Which Instagram reels can this scraper collect? It collects public reels only, no login needed. Pass one or more public usernames to get the reels from an account's recent public media, or pass specific reel URLs or shortcodes to fetch those exact reels with view count, likes, comments, duration and the video URL.

How many reels can I get per profile? Instagram exposes the reels among each account's most recent public media without login, so a profile typically returns its recent reels rather than the full historical archive. For higher volume, pass several usernames at once, or supply specific reel URLs for the exact reels you need.

Can I scrape a single reel by its link? Yes. Put the reel link (for example https://www.instagram.com/reel/CxAbCdEfGhi/) in the Reel URLs field, or just the shortcode in the Reel Shortcodes field. Post and TV links are also accepted.

Does it return the video file and the audio used? Every reel includes a direct videoUrl to the MP4, a thumbnail image, and the audio details (musicTitle, musicArtist, and whether it is original audio). Video links are time limited by Instagram, so download them soon after the run.

What happens with private accounts or missing reels? Private accounts and accounts with no public reels return a clear error record instead of failing the run, so your dataset always tells you what was and was not available.
