Instagram Reels Views Scraper
One row per public reel with its view count
What it does
Give it Instagram usernames and it returns one row for every public reel on the profile: play count, likes, comments, posting date, pinned and collab flags, the thumbnail and the account's follower count. A reach_ratio column divides the reel's views by the median views of that profile's other reels, so small and large accounts compare on the same scale. No login, cookies or API key. Share and save counts are not available to a logged out visitor, so no row carries them.

Common questions
What fields come back for each reel? +
Each row carries play_count, like_count, comment_count, taken_at, shortcode and url, plus the profile's followers, full_name and is_verified, the is_pinned and is_collab flags, a thumbnail in display_url, and reach_ratio against median_play_count. Reel details add caption, hashtags, mentions, coauthors, video URL and duration.
How much does a run cost? +
A reel is $0.0025 on Apify's free plan and $0.001 on Gold and above, and reel details add $0.001 per reel on free, $0.0005 on Gold. The $0.005 start fee is charged once per run even when no reel comes back. Private profiles and filtered reels add nothing.
Do I need an Instagram login or cookies? +
No. It reads the reels tab the way Instagram serves it to any logged out visitor, over Apify datacenter proxy, so there is no account, cookie jar or API key to supply. Private accounts appear in the run summary marked private and are not charged.
Can I get share and save counts? +
No. Instagram does not send shares or saves to a logged out visitor on any request the makers found, so no row carries them. Views, likes and comments are what Instagram returns publicly, and counts_hidden tells you when the owner hides them in the app.
How does monitor mode work on a schedule? +
With monitor mode on, a repeat run delivers only reels no earlier run returned and bills for those alone, so a daily check across 100 accounts costs a handful of new reels rather than the whole feed. It needs the same input every run.
