# Comment

`GET /v1/instagram/comment`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.insightsocial.app`
- URL: `https://api.insightsocial.app/v1/instagram/comment`
- Auth: API key in header `x-api-key`

Returns one comment's current text, like count, reply count, author, and timestamp, plus the post's total comment count for context.

Use it when you already know which comment you want, so you do not have to page through post/comments to find it again.

**Metered: 50–150 credits.** We reserve the ceiling when the call starts and charge what it actually used when it finishes.

## Query parameters

- `comment_url` string
- `post_url` string
- `comment_id` string
- `author_username` string
- `text_contains` string
- `deep_scan` boolean
- `position_hint` string
- `max` integer
- `dry_run` '1'
