What the reviews say

The scraper is fast, reliable, accurate, inexpensive and easy to set up, but it fails to return some scraped videos (incomplete results).

Does it return everything2 praised · 1 complained3includes timestamps and metadataomits scraped videos from results“I used to manually transcribe videos, which was extremely tiring. This API completely relieved me. It returns the text content, provides timestamps and metadata, making content analysis and keyword extraction extremely convenient for me. For batch processing of public videos, the response speed and data completeness are very satisfactory.” — 5/5

How fast3 praised · 0 complained3fast and efficient bulk processing“Instagram is notoriously difficult to scrape, but this tool is exceptionally stable and reliable. It processes bulk video links efficiently without getting blocked or dropping data. The setup is simple, the execution is fast, and the output format is ready to use with zero messy post-processing needed. Excellent work by the developer on keeping this so well-optimized!” — 5/5

Is the data right2 praised · 0 complained2returns high-quality, accurate transcripts“I used this Actor today in a Make scenario to extract Instagram Reels transcripts and pass them to OpenAI for further analysis. The performance was stable throughout the workflow, the returned transcripts were high quality, and the pricing is very cost-effective. It worked well for an automation use case and saved me a lot of time. Recommended if you need reliable Instagram Reel transcript data for downstream AI processing.” — 5/5
Setup and docs1 praised · 0 complained1simple and quick initial setup
Caps and ceilings1 praised · 0 complained1well-designed and generous rate limits“Manually transcribing Reels used to be a huge time sink. This API changed that completely. It doesn’t just return text — it also provides timestamps and metadata, which makes content analysis and keyword extraction incredibly easy. For batch processing public videos, the rate limits and reliability are well-designed. Highly recommended for any developer working with Instagram video content.” — 5/5
