Instagram Post Comments API reference

URL of the Instagram post (a /p/, /reel/, /reels/, or /tv/ link).

Ordering: top (default) ranks by Instagram's popularity order (most-liked first); recent returns newest-first. Use recent when you are paging through a whole thread: Instagram ranks only the most-liked head, so a top walk starts repeating comments once you page past it.

Pagination cursor. Use the next_cursor from the previous response to fetch the next page.

When true, returns URL-safe profile picture links suitable for embedding.

Optional, 1 to 3, default 1. With 2 or 3, the call reads that many pages, drops comments repeated across pages, and returns them all sorted by likes (sort=top) or newest first (sort=recent). Use it when the first page of a top-sorted thread is low-like comments.

Set to 1 to get the price of this call without making it: data.dry_run carries credits_min and credits_max. Nothing is charged.

Only rows published on or after this date: YYYY-MM-DD (midnight UTC) or an ISO 8601 timestamp. Rows older than it are left off the page, and the page that reaches one ends the walk: next_cursor is not returned and pagination.stopped_at is since. Sending it sets the newest-first sort shown in this endpoint's sort parameter (any other sort value is a free 400). The page still costs what a page costs, so you pay for the pages you walk and no more. A row with no date is kept.

Only rows published on or before this date: YYYY-MM-DD (that whole UTC day is included) or an ISO 8601 timestamp. Newer rows are left off each page and the walk does not stop, so older pages follow. A row with no date is kept.
