Crawl4AIInstagramSocial

Reels of an Instagram account

crawl4ai.instagram.user.reels

The latest reels of one Instagram account, newest first, one row per reel: id, code, URL, plays, likes, comments, thumbnail. `username` is the account (@name or an instagram.com URL), or `user_id` its numeric id (one lookup fewer); `limit` up to 48, 12 per page. Without `session` a public account is read in 2 to 8 s; when Instagram refuses, a slower second source answers when `username` is given (about 100 s, billed per record, plays often empty). With `session` (your `sessionid` and `csrftoken` cookies, used once, never stored) it is read as you. Columns: id, code, url, plays, likes, comments, thumbnail.
