About this Instagram comment exporter
Paste an Instagram Reel, post, or IGTV URL and ClipComments pulls the visible comments via Instagram's anonymous GraphQL endpoint. You get author username, comment text, timestamp, like count, and the number of replies in one tidy export.
Honest scope: Instagram heavily rate-limits anonymous comment fetches in 2026 and the public response caps at around 10 comments per call. ClipComments extracts as many as Instagram's public response allows.
Use cases: content creators studying engagement on their own Reels, brand teams reviewing UGC under a hashtag campaign, research workflows that need comment text outside of Instagram's in-app UI.

Frequently asked questions
Can I download Instagram comments without logging in?
Yes for public Reels and posts. ClipComments uses Instagram's anonymous GraphQL endpoint (the same one their embed widgets use). Private accounts and some restricted posts can't be exported.
How many comments will I get?
Instagram's anonymous endpoint typically returns the top 10 to 15 comments per post in 2026. Deeper threads aren't available without a login.
Does it work with Reels?
Yes. Both /reel/ and /p/ URLs are handled identically.
What happens if the scrape fails?
You see a real error explaining whether the post is private, rate-limited, or unavailable — not an empty file. The previous behavior of silently returning 0 comments was removed in May 2026.
