## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to extract comments from a specific Instagram post by URL or shortcode, especially when you need to paginate through large comment sets cost-effectively using Orthogonal's pagination billing model (subsequent pages are free). Ideal for social listening, influencer analysis, or brand monitoring workflows.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or inaccessible Instagram post URL returns an error
- Private Instagram account posts cannot be accessed
- Rate limits or Instagram blocking may result in empty or partial responses
- Invalid nextPageToken causes pagination failure
- Changing non-pagination parameters while passing parentRequestId starts a new billable request

## How this service works

Fetches paginated comments on an Instagram post. Pagination billing: call the first page normally and save billing.requestId from the Orthogonal /v1/run response. For later page, offset, or cursor calls on the same logical search, pass parentRequestId with unchanged non-pagination parameters. Valid continuation calls still get their own request IDs and quoted price, but are charged 0. Changing filters starts a new billable request.

## Output

Returns a paginated list of comments on the specified Instagram post, including comment text, commenter information, and a nextPageToken for fetching subsequent pages. The billing system allows continuation pages to be fetched at no additional charge when parentRequestId is passed.
