Take one Instagram post and read it properly — the post record itself, its comments, the replies under a comment, and who liked it. Paste the URL; you don't need to find an ID first. No login, no cookies.
Pick a mode
| Mode | Give it | Returns |
|---|---|---|
| Get post by URL | postUrl | The post record |
| Get post by ID | postId | Same record, from the numeric media ID |
| Extended post details | code | A fuller record, from the link or its shortcode |
| List post comments | code | One row per comment, paged |
| Comment replies | commentId | One row per reply, paged |
| Post likes | code | One row per liker, paged |
postUrl and code both accept a full instagram.com/p/…, /reel/… or /tv/… link — paste the address bar and the shortcode is taken out of it for you. A bare shortcode works too.
Input
| Field | Notes |
|---|---|
| sortBy | recent or popular — comment order |
| Max results | Per post. 0 removes the bound. |
| Resume from | Continuation value from an earlier run's log |
Output
source_identifier · code · like_count · comment_count · taken_at
Questions
How do I get replies to a specific comment?
Run List post comments first, find the comment, copy its id, and put that in commentId. There is no way to go straight from a post URL to one comment's replies — the reply endpoint identifies the comment, not the post.
The like count says 40,000 but I got far fewer likers.
Those are two different things. like_count is the number Instagram displays. The Post likes mode reads the liker list, which Instagram truncates heavily — you get the portion it serves, not everyone. Use like_count for the number and the liker rows for the sample.
Which mode should I default to? Get post by URL. Extended post details returns more fields from a different Instagram surface, so reach for it when the plain record is missing something you need — not as the starting point.
Nothing came back for a post that exists. Deleted posts and posts on accounts that went private both return no row rather than an error. So does a mistyped shortcode. The run finishes successfully either way.
Can I pass several posts at once?
One post per run. source_identifier labels every row with the post it came from, so scheduled runs merge cleanly into one sheet.
