How this service works
Pay-per-call structured web data. Failed or empty runs are not charged.
Output
Returns a JSON object with a count of retrieved items and an array of comment objects, each containing id, text, postId, postUrl, position (order on page), timestamp, commentUrl, and likesCount. Note: Instagram's public page typically exposes only 10–14 comments regardless of the limit requested.
Example use cases
Brand sentiment monitoring on product launch
“Scrape the public comments from this Instagram post about our new sneaker launch — https://www.instagram.com/p/XYZ789/ — and give me the text and like counts so I can see how people are reacting, up to 14 comments.”
Competitor engagement analysis
“Grab up to 15 comments each from these three Instagram reels posted by our competitor — https://www.instagram.com/reel/AAA111/, https://www.instagram.com/reel/BBB222/, https://www.instagram.com/reel/CCC333/ — I want to see what their audience is saying and which comments are getting the most likes.”
Influencer campaign comment audit
“For this Instagram post by the influencer we sponsored — https://www.instagram.com/p/INF001/ — pull the top 10 public comments with timestamps and positions so I can verify the audience engagement looks genuine.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://api.scrapeforagents.tech/v1/instagram-comments?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need structured, pay-per-use extraction of public Instagram comments without managing your own scraping infrastructure. It is well-suited for one-off social listening tasks, influencer audits, or multi-URL batch comment collection where failed/empty runs are not billed. Prefer alternatives if you need deep comment threads beyond ~14 comments per post, private account data, or real-time streaming of new comments.
Side effects
- Private or restricted Instagram account returns empty results (not charged)
- Invalid or malformed Instagram URL causes failed run (not charged)
- Instagram rate limiting or anti-bot measures may reduce comment yield
- Post has been deleted or made private since URL was captured
- resultsLimit higher than 14 still returns only ~10–14 due to Instagram page constraints
- Network timeout for very large or slow-loading posts
