[Instagram] Scrape Comments
The [Instagram] Scrape Comments block retrieves comments from a specified Instagram post.
Scrape comments from any Instagram post
The [Instagram] Scrape Comments block retrieves comments from a specified Instagram post. You provide the URL of the post and an optional results limit to control how many comments are fetched, and the block collects the available comment data and stores it in a destination variable for use later in the workflow.
The block has two primary inputs: a post URL, which identifies the Instagram post to scrape, and a results limit, which lets you cap the number of comments returned. The output is stored in a variable you define, making it accessible to downstream blocks for processing, filtering, or analysis.
This block fits into workflows that involve social media monitoring, audience research, content moderation review, or sentiment analysis. It can be paired with AI analysis blocks to classify or summarize comment content, or with data export blocks to log comments to a spreadsheet or database.
