Get Instagram post comments

Automatically get Instagram post comments on instagram.com. 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.

You do not need one. "Get Instagram post comments" drives the real instagram.com pages in a browser, so it works whether or not instagram.com offers an API for this.
Required: code. Optional: count.
It returns url, code, caption, comments, complete, like_count, view_count, comment_count, comments_disabled.
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.

Send Instagram DM

Send a DM to an Instagram user by their username: plain text, an image attachment, or both together. Takes the image as base64 so it runs from any client. Returns ids/timestamps for whichever parts were sent, and the recipient-side restriction banner if one is shown right after sending.

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.
