New Endpoint: Scrape Instagram Comments from Any Public Post!

We are excited to announce one of our most requested features: Instagram Comment Scraping.

Previously, you could scrape profiles and posts. Now, you can go deeper and extract the conversation happening on those posts.

What Can You Do With This?

1. Run Fair Giveaways: "Tag 3 friends to enter." You can now scrape all comments, verify who tagged 3 people, and pick a random winner transparently.
2. Sentiment Analysis: Analyze how people are reacting to a competitor's new product launch.
3. Spam Monitoring: Detect and flag bot comments on your own posts.

How It Works

Endpoint: GET /v1/scrape/instagram/comments

Parameters:

• shortcode: The ID from the URL (e.g., Cz123abc).
• count: Number of comments to retrieve (default 50).

        },

        "like_count": 5
      }
    ]
  }
}
