Overview
About Instagram Comments API
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.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
- Does this agent include replies to comments?
- Yes, Instagram Comments retrieves nested replies as individual rows, including their specific author data and timestamps.
