Scrape Instagram comments from posts or reels. Just add one or more Instagram post URLs to get comment text, post IDs, position, timestamp, owner ids, usernames, profile pics, and URLs. Export scraped datasets, run the scraper via API, schedule and monitor runs or integrate with other tools.

You can access the Instagram Comments Scraper programmatically from your own applications by using the Apify API. You can choose the language preference from below. To use the Apify API, you’ll need an Apify account and your API token, found in Integrations settings in Apify Console.

💬 Instagram Comments Scraper OpenAPI definition

OpenAPI is a standard for designing and describing RESTful APIs, allowing developers to define API structure, endpoints, and data formats in a machine-readable way. It simplifies API development, integration, and documentation.

OpenAPI is effective when used with AI agents and GPTs by standardizing how these systems interact with various APIs, for reliable integrations and efficient communication.

By defining machine-readable API specifications, OpenAPI allows AI models like GPTs to understand and use varied data sources, improving accuracy. This accelerates development, reduces errors, and provides context-aware responses, making OpenAPI a core component for AI applications.
