[Feature Request] Replies to comments, keep reference to comment

Closed

At the moment we receive a list of all comments, whether they are a direct comment or a reply to a comment. It would be great to keep a reference to the original comment when it is a reply. Something like "replyTo": string | undefined

Thanks for feedback, currently there is no data for replies because actor getting "comments preview" without relation to replies. However some partial results with replies might be available by doing more calls for data, will evaluate and let you know.

I have 50 comments, how can I get the next 50 comments?

Currently there is no way to get more comments than in post preview and its up to 50 as composed by Instagram for preview (so might be less than 50)

Hello, we’ve released a new version that allows users to scrape a higher number of comments and newly also replies, so be sure to check it out! I’ll be closing this issue thread for now, but don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any further questions.

Hi, there is no way to relate the reply to its parent comment. only thru URL, the replies list for parrent comments seem to be empty.

Hi!

@batmanturtle parentCommentUrl is the way to relate replies because it is unique and can not be mistaken with anything else, parent comment id is always appended after /c/ The replies array in the parent comment is for backward compatibility, Instagram sometimes provides a "replies preview" but it never was a primary source for replies.

I will close the issue now, but if there is anything else we could help with, please let us know.
