Arguments​

scrapeReels takes 3 arguments: scrapeReels('brahmbeyond',1, true)

  • Username
  • Number (Scroll Count - the more scroll count the more posts will be scraped) by default its set to 1
  • Boolean (true/false) - indicating whether you want to download the Reels or not , by default its set to true

By default, the second argument is set to true (meaning Reels will be downloaded to a folder named 'Reels').

  • The Reels Downloadable links time valididty is not tested so don't know how long it will be valid.

Note: The import syntax (import ... from '@brahmbeyond/instareel') is used with ES6 modules, which are supported in Node.js version 14 and later, and in most modern browsers. If you're using an older version of Node.js or a runtime that doesn't support ES6 modules, you should use the require syntax instead (const ... = require('@brahmbeyond/instareel')).
