- Export formats (JSON/CSV) and webhook/API hooks for automation
- Transparent usage pricing and run logs

How do I call it like an API?
Run the Actor via the Apify API or console, then fetch the dataset. You can schedule runs and push results with webhooks.

See Instagram Comments Scraper on easyapi.tools and the live Actor on Apify for schema and pricing.
What does Instagram Comments Scraper return?
Effortlessly extract comments from Instagram posts. Results land as Apify dataset rows you can export as JSON/CSV — confirm the live schema on the Actor page.
Is Instagram Comments Scraper using public data only?
