Response

Returns an array of instagram_comment. This is a real response, not an abbreviated one — including the fields that come back null, because a field is null when the platform does not show it and you should know which ones those are before you build on them.

What it costs

3 credits per successful call, whether we fetch it or serve it from cache — you pay for the answer, not for how we produced it. Responses are cached for 1 hours and a cached one tells you when the data was actually fetched. A call we fail costs 0 and is refunded automatically.

On the smallest pack that is $2.34 per 1,000 calls; on the largest, $1.20. The full table.
