This endpoint uses Apify's Instagram Comment Scraper to scrape Instagram comment data
The actual comment data will be available in the Apify dataset after the run completes
Use the Apify Scraper Results API to check the status and retrieve the scraped data
Rate limits may apply based on Instagram's restrictions
The scraping process may take some time to complete
Results are not real-time and may be subject to Instagram's rate limiting
Use resultsLimit to control how many comments to fetch per post (useful for performance optimization)
Set isNewestComments to true to retrieve newest comments first, false for oldest first, or null (default) to use platform default sorting
