What the reviews say

Returns engagement metrics and media links reliably, but misses Instagram/Reels coverage, enforces strict result/date limits, and shows declining usefulness for some users.

What it supports0 praised · 2 complained2fetches from Google instead of Instagramdoes not scrape Instagram Reels“This actor has become less and less useful over time. It does not scrape Reels. (I confirmed this via a support chat.) And now it's capping my results at 50. No idea why.” — 2/5
Caps and ceilings0 praised · 2 complained2no custom date-range scrapingresults capped at 50“I really like this scraper, the ability to bulk import desired accounts and retrieve all the key columns, especially engagement metrics and media links, is excellent. One improvement that would make it even better is the ability to set a custom date range for scraping, to allow for more flexibility in selecting specific time periods.” — 5/5
