7 | Any medicine—whether it’s a supplement or prescription drug is metabolized by your liver. Taking too much, especially over a long period, can eventually cause damage.

}'Overview
Instagram Comments extracts the top comments on any post or reel — text, timestamp, likes, and the commenter's handle, name, verification, and privacy — plus the size of each comment's reply thread.
Social media managers use this to track community sentiment on brand posts. Data scientists use it to build training sets for NLP models or to analyze engagement patterns across competitor accounts.
Cost
$1.60 per 1,000 comments. Each row returned counts as one comment. The total row count is calculated by multiplying the number of post URLs by the max comments requested per post. Failed runs don't count.
