IG reels likes count does not match with platform
For some reels the API response does not give accurate like count compared to what we see on the platform. For instance one of the reels has 1093 likes but the API returns only 38. Any clue why this is happening? TIA
Also experiencing this!
On native, https://www.instagram.com/reel/C5iGOXHNu4U is showing at 7167 (and climbing) likes.
The API is returning 1064, whether requesting the like_count prop on the media item or as an insight metric.
It looks like the missing likes are from Facebook reactions.
