Instagram Comments to Spreadsheet

Hi guys,
Is it an option or method to get automatically all the comments of certain posts into a spreadsheet?
Kinda RSS feed for comments, or something similar...
Keep in mind that I will not give the Instagram credentials to any third party app or service.
Thank you in advance.

There are some python scrips that will export comments from a public feed into JSON. From there, you can convert to Excel/CSV. I’ve done that with insta-scraper. You cant target a specific post but you can specify the last 10 post or something like that and it will export all of them out. Then, from there, you can isolate the comments per post.

Then look at
--media-metadata
You can also do
--media-types none so you dont download any images

So do instagram-scraper profilename -m 10 —media-types none —media-metadata —comments
This scrapes the last 10 posts, doesnt download any images but produces a json file with all the comments.

I’ve scraped posts with 2000 comments so I know it works. In fact, I’ve scraped about 40k comments.

This will save out a folder with the json file. Then you can use a JSON parser (script it yourself) or use a service like
https://json-csv.com/

Which converts your JSON to a suitable format.
