Instagram Reel Scraper

Overview

The Instagram Reel Scraper captures short-form video performance: view counts, like and comment counts, captions, hashtags, audio tracks, durations, posting times, and author profiles. Content teams use it to reverse-engineer viral formats, track trending sounds, and benchmark reel output against competitors. Reel feeds and hashtag surfaces render dynamically, so extraction drives real browser sessions on Apify's cloud with automatic scrolling. Export to Excel or JSON to rank formats by views-per-follower, brief editors with proven hooks, and document what actually travels in your niche. Save trending audio attributions to brief editors on sounds worth remixing.
