As many of you know, video_play_count is null for /v1/instagram/post
And sadly, it doesn't look like its coming back 😬
Instagram changed something and as a result, they aren't returning the view count for that endpoint anymore
And its down for everyone, Apify, you name it, isn't able to get this data anymore from a specific post
The workaround would be to use
docs.scrapecreators.com/v2/i… or
docs.scrapecreators.com/v1/i… and keep paginating until you find the post and update the view counts from that
I know that sucks, but its the only solution we have unless Instagram returns view counts again for an individual post.
But something tells me they don't want to do that
Or maybe we'll find a solution, but it doesn't look good
