How to get comments from an Instagram post?

Question

Python

Hello! In general, I ran into a problem. You need to get the comments from under the Instagram post and display them.
Tried to implement this with requests and BeautifulSoup, but it doesn't work.
Prompt how to carry out it, what libraries to use.

Answer 1

Comments are in the script in the page code

import requests
import json
import re


headers = {'user-agent': 'Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/44.0.2403.157 Safari/537.36'}

r = requests.get('https://www.instagram.com/p/CKJ4986gdbW/', headers=headers)

script = re.search(r'window._sharedData = (.+?);</script>', r.text).group(1)
data = json.loads(script)

edges = data['entry_data']['PostPage'][0]['graphql']['shortcode_media']['edge_media_to_parent_comment']['edges']
for edge in edges:

    text = edge['node']['text']
    author = edge['node']['owner']['username']

    print(author, text)
