Instagram Reel Scraper

It runs that actor internally, fetches public Instagram Reels, and then simplifies the result to output only key data fields such as reel URLs, IDs, usernames, play counts, likes, and timestamps. The output is lightweight and ready to use in reports, dashboards, or data processing workflows. ## What is Instagram Reel Scraper?
