FAQ
Does this require an Instagram login? No. The actor works without credentials for public profiles and public reels.
Will it work on private accounts? No — private reels are not accessible without login.
How accurate is the transcript? Transcription uses OpenAI Whisper (large model). Accuracy is 90%+ for clear English audio. Background music may reduce accuracy.
Can I scrape thousands of reels? Yes. The actor is built to handle bulk inputs. For very large runs (10,000+), contact us for optimized configurations.
What happens if a reel is deleted or unavailable? The actor returns an error entry for that URL and continues processing the rest.
