Missing shareCount field in Instagram-tagged-scraper & instagram-hashtag-scraper
Closed
Description We’re not seeing the shareCount property in the output of either the Tagged or Hashtag scrapers, even though we were told these Actors would include it.
Actors & Runs apify/instagram-tagged-scraper Run ID: fqRwS8nBODhkWS3p6
apify/instagram-hashtag-scraper Run ID: 2buXMjErye6PeMMx5
What happened Both scrapers did not return shareCount. (i see reshareCount in the hashtag scrapper but not sure if this is shareCount, what is reshareCount?). The shareCount field is completely absent.
What I expected Each post/reels/videos object should include a numeric shareCount property.
Steps to reproduce Trigger the tagged scraper with run ID fqRwS8nBODhkWS3p6. Inspect the JSON output—there is no shareCount.
Trigger the hashtag scraper with run ID 2buXMjErye6PeMMx5. Observe the same absence of shareCount.
Why it matters We rely on shareCount (rather than likeCount or commentCount) for our campaign performance reports and customer-facing dashboards. Without it, we cannot measure true post amplification.
Can you please confirm:
- Whether shareCount is intended to be available now in these Actors?
- If so, when can we expect the field to appear in the output?
- If not, what’s the recommended workaround?
Thank you! Brice Lee
Hi!
reshareCount = how many times the post/video was shared
For now, this metric is available only for mentions and hashtag reels.
apify/instagram-hashtag-scraper Run ID: 2buXMjErye6PeMMx5 - there is a reshareCount: 0 apify/instagram-tagged-scraper Run ID: fqRwS8nBODhkWS3p6 - re run works as expected https://console.apify.com/view/runs/gsxMKo7yBSuZ3RAiE
I will close the issue now, but if there is anything else we can help with, please let us know.
