Instagram scrapper does not fetch all comments
Hi all, I need to scrap comments for my master thesis and tried apify scrapper (httpsapify.comzu). I'm only interested in 1. level comments (no replies). My issue is now that I do not get all comments per post, but only the number I can see in frontend -2. Example: https://www.instagram.com/p/Clx8wSTIRmL/ has 6 comments on 1. level. The output only provides 4. I tested it with another post https://www.instagram.com/p/ClDmZ2DImgl/ and same result. Two comments are missing. I limited comments to 24. So this should not be an issue. Can anyone help please? Thank you 🙂

Hello, the dev will look into it @Alexey Udovydchenko
Answered yesterday in another thread, its always "up to N comments" per post preview, we don't know how exactly comments in preview compiled by IG, so amount vary depends on comments tree
