Restore basic video metadata fetching #157

Closed boscacci closed 2 years ago

Seems like instagram has changed some of the keys used by the Mapper to fetch basic metadata about video posts, e.g. "shortcode" changed to "code" and "is_video" is now "is_unified_video".

Stopgap fix for https://github.com/chris-greening/instascrape/issues/156#issue-1141193433

this commit still gets an error when trying to scrape the Reels - I think it might need a few more fixes
