Delete Instagram comment

Automatically delete Instagram comment on instagram.com. Delete one of your own comments on an Instagram post or reel by its shortcode and comment id. Opens the comment's own permalink, drives its options menu then Delete, and reloads that permalink to prove it is really gone before reporting success. Fails clearly when the comment isn't available (already deleted, wrong id/shortcode) and when its options menu has no Delete entry (a comment that isn't yours).

Input

shortcode required

Post/reel shortcode (instagram.com/p/<code>/).

comment_id required

Id of the comment to delete, from get_post_comments' id field. Must be a comment you own.

Output

shortcode required
comment_id required
did_delete required
verified_gone required

True when the comment's own permalink was reloaded after the delete and no longer resolves to it.

Get Instagram post comments

Fetch the top-level comments of an Instagram post or reel by shortcode, in Instagram's own order, plus its caption and counts. Returns code, url, caption, comments (id, text, user, verified, created_at, like_count, reply_count), like_count, view_count, comment_count (Instagram's count, replies included), comments_disabled, and complete. Reads up to count comments (default 12); complete is true only when every top-level comment was read, false when count stopped the list first. Replies are not included. A post with no comments returns an empty list.

Delete Instagram post

Delete one of your own Instagram posts or reels by shortcode. Opens the post, drives More options then Delete and the confirmation, and then reloads the post's link to prove it is really gone before reporting success. Returns the shortcode, the media id when Instagram exposes it, and whether the post was verified as removed. Fails clearly when the shortcode is not available to you (already deleted, private, or another account's) and when the post is still live after the confirmation.
