Hello Tim,

We’ve added “sort_order” filter to the comments endpoint. Now you can sort comments by popular, recent and verified.

Thanks

Regarding comments order, currently its default but for some users comment sorting option is available because this feature is available for few users.

1. recent
2. popular
3. verified

We are working on adding these filters.

Hello Tim,

Thanks for contacting us.

Please pass next_acc received from response to next request along with min_id.

Example
url = “https://instagram-api-20231.p.rapidapi.com/api/media_comments_from_shortcode/D”

querystring = {“min_id”:“example”,“next_acc”:“example”}

headers = {
“X-RapidAPI-Key”: “KEY”,
“X-RapidAPI-Host”: “instagram-api-20231.p.rapidapi.com”
}

response = requests.get(url, headers=headers, params=querystring)

print(response.json())

For first request, min_id and next_acc should be empty then for each pagination requests, please pass next_min_id to min_id and next_acc to next_acc.
This will resolve your issue.

Is it possible to access more comments? This cap of around 20 comments per post is very limiting!!
Ans: This limit is imposed by Instagram.
