What the reviews say

The scraper works reliably when it runs, but it can fail to run, omits an expected output field, and requires the cookies field to be filled.

6 of 6 reviews carry text

Theme	Sentiment	Said	What they mean
Does it run	1 praised · 1 complained	2	consistently works every timesometimes fails to run“Great actor! I just miss one thing to give it a 5 star rating: I need a function to calculate the amount spent on each run and it would be much easier if 'total_spendings' was an output item. Since I use this as a lead extraction tool, it's currently being more difficult than it needed to be to calculate my CPL. Besides that, it works great every time!” — 4/5

Instagram stores 11 different cookies, I'm not sure which one this actor expects me to use nor the format I'm supposed to input.” — 2/5
