FAQ
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.
Follow Instagram user
Follow an Instagram user from their profile. outgoing_request=true means a pending request to a private account; fails if there's no Follow button (already followed/requested). Returns following, outgoing_request, followed_by, user_id.
