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 |

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 |
