- Author, comment text, posting time and likes, one row per comment.
- Public accounts only: comments on private accounts can't be exported.
When you need every comment
Instagram's official API lets a business or creator account read all the comments on its own posts. Tools that connect to your Instagram account through that API can export complete threads for your own posts. ClipComments doesn't offer that today.
