Top reels from 3 big profiles in minutes with Apify, for about $0.53
Creators guess what works instead of studying what already performs in their market.
What hurt
Rafael Galdino (@RafaelGaldino) asked his Grok Bot, using Apify (a public social data scraper), for the 5 most-viewed reels from 3 large Brazilian business profiles. It read the last 50 reels of each and returned a table with date, views, likes, comments, and the hook. It took minutes and cost about US$0.53. Lessons: each profile's top reel was pinned; collabs rank because both profiles get the reach; shares and saves aren't public, so only views, likes, and comments are measurable.

The prompt
Top reels table (author-quoted, translated from Portuguese)
Quoted from @RafaelGaldino — as published. Do not invent a second system prompt.
(Translated from the author's Portuguese.) Use Apify to fetch the last 50 reels from these Instagram profiles: [profiles]. Build a table per profile with the 5 most viewed: date, whether it's pinned or a collab, views, likes, comments, the first line of the caption, and the link. Tell me the cost of the search and 3 patterns that repeat across the profiles. Original: Use o Apify para buscar os últimos 50 reels destes perfis do Instagram: [perfis]. Monte uma tabela por perfil com os 5 mais vistos: data, se é fixado ou collab, visualizações, curtidas, comentários, a primeira frase da legenda e o link. Me diga o custo da busca e 3 padrões que se repetem entre os perfis.
First run
- 1Read https://x.com/RafaelGaldino/status/2110492686503284929 (credit @RafaelGaldino).
- 2Connect Apify to your bot and set a spend cap.
- 3Paste the author's prompt with 3 profiles from your market.
- 4Read the table and the 3 patterns; note which top reels are pinned or collabs.
- 5Plan your next videos from the patterns before you record.
Approval fence
Apify runs cost money; ask the bot to state the cost and cap the run before it starts.
What to tweak
Steal the prompt: top 5 per profile, pinned/collab flags, hook, link, cost, 3 patterns.
