Instagram Comments Scraper

Instagram Comments Scraper by Omkar Cloud gets you 🎯 accurate, 🔍 detailed Instagram data.

$0.50 per 1,000 comments. And with Apify's free plan you get $5 of credit every month, so your first ~10,000 comments each month are free.

This is an excellent Actor made by Omkar Cloud, which is Rated Excellent — 4.7 based on 30 reviews on Trustpilot.

What can I get

• 💬 The comments of any post or reel — the text, exactly as written
• ❤️ Likes & timestamps — the like count and posting time of every comment
• 👤 Who wrote it — username, ID, profile picture and verified badge
• 🔗 The post it belongs to — post ID, shortcode and link on every row
• 🔁 Any link works — post, reel and share links, shortcodes or media IDs

Why Instagram Comments Scraper

Most other Instagram scrapers fail you in one of four ways:

• 🧩 Low-detail data — a few fields per row, never the full picture
• 🗄️ Inaccurate, cached, stale data — yesterday's numbers are useless
• 💸 Pay more to get the same data — $2.60 per 1,000 comments elsewhere
• 🪦 Works today, breaks next month — nobody maintains it

Instagram Comments Scraper reads Instagram live, is priced honestly, and actively maintained.

Example: A Comment on an Instagram Reel

{
  "source": "DdcI4o0Prsz",
  "id": "18116030908924911",
  "text": "omgashh sooooo cuteeeeeee",
  "created_at": "2026-09-23T10:30:55Z",
  "like_count": 0,
  "user": {
    "id": "22358797351",
    "username": "_fingerburger2009",
    "link": "https://www.instagram.com/_fingerburger2009/",
    "is_verified": false
  },
  "post": { "id": "3989102446432402227", "code": "DdcI4o0Prsz", "link": "https://www.instagram.com/p/DdcI4o0Prsz/" }
}

Trimmed for readability. Every row also carries reply_count, parent_comment_id, is_by_owner and the commenter's full_name and profile_picture.

FAQ

What can I put in the input?

Any post, reel or share link, a shortcode (DdcI4o0Prsz) or a numeric media ID — mixed freely.

Do I get every comment of a post?

You get the comments Instagram shows logged-out visitors, in its own order, up to Max Comments per Post (5,000 max). On some posts Instagram shows only a few dozen; on others it keeps going. Replies to comments are not included.

What does it cost?

$0.0005 per comment — $0.50 per 1,000 — flat on every plan, with no start fee. Apify's free plan gives you $5 of credit every month, which is about 10,000 comments free every month.

Is it legal to scrape Instagram?

The Actor collects only the public data Instagram shows any logged-out visitor — no login, no private accounts. Please review Instagram's terms of use and make sure your use complies with the law of your jurisdiction, including data-protection law.

I need posts or profiles, not comments.

Use Instagram Scraper for posts and reels ($1 per 1,000 posts), or Instagram Profile Scraper for profiles ($1 per 1,000 profiles).
