Understanding Limits

max_results: Limits reels collected from each profile URL. Useful when scraping multiple creator profiles. max_unique_results_per_run: Global limit across all tasks. The scraper stops once this total is reached, regardless of individual task limits.
Set max_results to 50-100 when scraping multiple profiles to get a representative sample from each.
Leave limits empty or null for unlimited collection.
Large profiles can have thousands of reels. Set appropriate limits to control costs and processing time.
