⚡ Instagram Comments Scraper — Post & Reel Comments

Scrape every comment from any Instagram post or reel — text, like count, reply count, author, verified badge, and timestamp. Flat JSON/CSV/Excel export or one-click Notion delivery. Pay per comment — failed or empty runs cost nothing.

Why it wins

• 💸 $0.40 / 1,000 comments — the same account-pool method the expensive incumbents charge multiples for, at a fraction of the price.
• 🔄 Account-pool rotation, built in — drop in a few throwaway sessionid cookies and the actor rotates them across fresh residential IPs automatically, exactly how the paid services stay unblocked.
• 🧹 Clean, flat records — no nested GraphQL soup. One row per comment, ready for a sheet or a database.
• 📬 Notion delivery built in — pipe results straight into a Notion data source, no glue code.
• 🎯 Post URL or shortcode — paste /p/, /reel/, or /tv/ links, or bare shortcodes. Both work.

Instagram gates comments behind a login — there is no keyless path for this data (the paid services use account pools too). This actor does the same, with your sessionid cookies.

🆓 Try it keyless (sample mode)

Run it with no input (or no sessionCookies) and you get an instant, free, clearly-labeled sample of the exact output shape (each row carries sampleData: true and a _notice). No proxy, no charge — perfect for wiring up your pipeline before adding a cookie.

⚠️ Real comments need a logged-in sessionid cookie

Get the cookie (about 1 minute): log in to instagram.com with a throwaway account → press F12 → Application → Cookies → copy the sessionid value → paste it into sessionCookies. Add a few accounts (one per line) for higher throughput and lower block rates.

FAQ

Do I really need a cookie? For real comments, yes — Instagram comments are login-gated. Run with no cookie first to see a free, labeled sample of the output; add a throwaway-account sessionid to scrape live data. The actor never touches your main login.

Can I pass several accounts? Yes — add one sessionid per line in sessionCookies. The actor rotates accounts and residential IPs to spread load and avoid blocks.

Posts or reels? Both. Reels and IGTV (/reel/, /tv/) work exactly like feed posts (/p/).

Will I be charged if a post is private or returns nothing? No. You only pay for comments actually returned.

How do I get results into Notion? Set notionConnector and notionParentId and the actor delivers each run automatically.
