How to scrape Instagram comments with Instagram Comment Scraper by Post URL?

Getting started is straightforward — no prior scraping experience required. Follow these 5 steps:

1. Create or sign in to your CoreClaw account.
2. Open Instagram Comment Scraper by Post URL on CoreClaw.
3. Paste one or more Instagram post or Reel URLs into the input field.
4. Click the Start button and wait for the comments to be extracted.
5. Download your results in CSV, JSON, JSONL, XLSX, XLS, XML, HTML, or RSS.

Input

Fill in the input form to begin scraping. Instagram Comment Scraper by Post URL accepts the following parameters:

• Instagram posts or reels URLs (directUrls, required): Add one or more Instagram URLs (posts or Reels) to scrape comments from. You can add URLs individually or use Bulk edit to import multiple URLs at once.
• Max Results (max_results, optional, default 5): Set the number of comments to scrape for each Instagram post or Reel. For example, if set to 5, each URL will scrape up to 5 comments. If you add 2 URLs, up to 10 comments will be returned in total.

    "https://www.instagram.com/reel/DExAmPlE123/"
  ],
  "max_results": 10
}

The directUrls array supports both post URLs (/p/...) and Reel URLs (/reel/...). Each URL is processed independently, and the max_results limit applies to each URL separately.
