Top-level comments
Replies under comments are counted but not expanded.
Public posts only
Private posts and disabled comments cannot be exported.
What you get in the export
The file contains one row per top-level comment. Each row has the comment text, the commenter's username and display name, whether the account is verified, the number of likes, how many replies the comment has, and the time it was posted. Replies themselves are not included; the reply count tells you when a thread is worth opening.
One export collects up to 500 comments. That is enough for most giveaways, surveys of feedback and sentiment checks. For larger posts, export the first 500 and note that more exist.
Fair use and limits
Collecting comments from Instagram is slow by design, and each visitor has a daily allowance so the service stays available to everyone. The page shows how many comments you have left today, and it will not start a job if you are nearly out.
Comments belong to the people who wrote them. Use exports for analysis, moderation and giveaways with clear rules. Do not use them to harass, contact people who did not opt in or build lists for spam.
