Required: thread_id. Optional: count.
It returns count, title, users, messages, thread_id.
Yes. It acts as you on instagram.com: on your own Chrome it reuses your session, and on a Reduck-hosted browser it loads the instagram.com cookies saved by the Reduck extension.
It only reads. It looks things up on instagram.com and changes nothing there.
Ask an AI agent connected to Reduck to run reduck/instagram.com/get_dm_messages, or run it from a terminal with the Reduck CLI: npx @reduck-ai/cli@latest run --script reduck/instagram.com/get_dm_messages

Get Instagram post comments

Fetch the preview comments of an Instagram post or reel by shortcode, plus its caption and counts. Returns code, url, caption, comments (text, user, verified, created_at, like_count, reply_count), like_count, view_count, comment_count, and comments_disabled. Only returns the comments Instagram renders by default, not the full thread, capped to count.

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.
