How do I scrape Instagram comments with an API?

Send a GET request to /v2/instagram/post/comments with the url parameter set to the post URL. SocialCrawl returns a JSON array of comments with author username, text, like count, reply count, and creation timestamp.

How do I paginate through Instagram comments?

The response includes a cursor field. Pass it back as the cursor query parameter on your next request to fetch the next page of comments. Keep paginating until the cursor field comes back empty.

Does the Instagram Comments API include replies?

Each top-level comment entry includes a reply_count field. To fetch the actual reply threads you can call the endpoint again with the reply's parent post and filter by the parent comment ID exposed in the payload.

Can I scrape comments from any Instagram post?

Yes, as long as the post is public. Private account posts and posts where comments are disabled by the author are not returned. Reels, photo posts, video posts, and carousel posts with public comments are all supported.

How much does the Instagram Comments API cost?

Each page costs 1 credit on the standard tier. New accounts start with 100 free credits and no card on file, so you can pull around 100 pages of comments while you evaluate the endpoint.
