Data API / Instagram / Post

Post Comments

Returns the comments on a public post or reel by URL in an already-normalised shape: comments, each with id, text, comment_like_count, child_comment_count, created_at and a nested user, plus cursor to page. Only top-level comments are returned; child_comment_count reports how many replies a comment has but the replies themselves are not included, and there is no endpoint that expands them. For the post itself, its caption, view counts and video URL, call get_instagram_post with the same URL.

Parameters

query

urlstringRequired
The URL of the post or reel to get comments from
cursorstringOptional
The cursor to get more comments. Get 'cursor' from previous response.

Example request

curl -G "https://openapi.felo.ai/v1/beta/instagram/post/comments" \
  --data-urlencode "url=<string>" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FELO_API_KEY"
