GET /ig_user_id/media not returning impressions for Reels posts
Impression data for posts with media_product_type REELS has been unavailable since around September 9, 2024. Until then, it was working properly and no errors had occurred. Currently, impressions are no longer included in insights.data.
I would appreciate it if you could let me know the cause and how to fix it.
