doc_id for IG reel details with view_count

[dinasorhex_all]

Hello everyone,

I'm not sure if this post is appropriate for this forum, but I hope it's okay to share here.

Recently IG has disabled below public post details endpoint
/graphql/query?query_hash=2b0...&variables={"shortcode":"CODE"}

Another public Post details endpoint does not return view_count or play_count for reels.
Does anyone know a public endpoint(without login) which returns view_count for reels.

TIA

Yeah, Instagram has been killing a lot of those public endpoints lately.
The old query_hash one you mentioned is pretty much dead for most accounts now. For reels view/play counts without login, there isn’t a reliable public endpoint that still works consistently as of now.
Most people who need this are either:
Using private API methods (requires login + proxies)
Or scraping with browser automation (Playwright/Puppeteer)
If you find any working public one, let me know. I’ve been looking too.
Good luck!

Yeah it's getting harder and harder to scrape IG
