Scrape top comments?

Closed

Is it possible to scrape only the top comments (i.e. with most likes). As the results currently is max 50 and usually low quality comments (such as "great stuff" or "I love this")

Hi! Please try to scrape post details https://apify.com/apify/instagram-scraper like this: https://console.apify.com/view/runs/sISJcuos60l8uvQqp see if latestComments provide more valuable output. This actor (separate comments scraper) is to get max possible comments with opportunity to rescan post to check for new comments in mind.

I tried the Instagram Scraper, didn't see an option for "latestComments". Is that only inputted via json? Anyway, I did notice that the comments were decent, still wasn't able to get the comments with the most likes. Do you have any other suggestions?

Hi! Sorry for confusion, latestComments is part of post details, so to get them you need to provide post URLs and scrape "details". So there is only two ways - getting "latestComments" as post details or getting max comments per post, I not sure what is better to get comments with most likes.
