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.
- How fresh is the data?

- Can I pull comments from multiple posts in one run?
- Yes. Pass an array of posts in a single call and Instagram Comments fans out the requests in parallel. The response is one consolidated table with a column noting which post each row came from.

- You can connect this agent to external tools via the Mindcase API or use the built-in webhooks to push comment data to your spreadsheets and automation workflows.
