Since Meta released its new API recently, we've been working hard to bring you your Reels data ASAP. We have Reels data everywhere we previously reported metrics for photos, carousels, and videos, meaning you’ll see Reels throughout Rival IQ just as you would any other Instagram post. Here are the key points from Instagram Reels data:
Instagram Reels data from the last two years is now loaded in Rival IQ, including your public and private data.
There are no views/play data available for public Reel data due to API limitations.
Your private Reels data does include plays as well as shares.
Instagram Collabs metrics are only available for the user who originally posted the video.
How do you see Instagram Reels in Rival IQ?
Reels are displayed among all other post types throughout Rival IQ. To filter the posts to only display Reels, navigate to the Instagram Social Posts dashboard and filter Post Type for Reel.
What metrics are available for Instagram Reels?
The public metrics available for Instagram Reels are the same metrics available for other post types. The private metrics available for Instagram Reels are similar to metrics available for other post types, but engagement total in Instagram Insights now includes shares for Reels.
