Do I need a business or creator account to export comments from Instagram?

Yes. The Meta API grants access to comments only for business and creator accounts. This is a restriction from Meta, not GiveawayOK.

Can I export comments from a personal Instagram account?

No, the Meta API does not support personal accounts. Switch to a business or creator account in your Instagram settings — it's free.

Are Collab Posts supported?

Yes, but it depends on how you log in. If you logged in through Facebook — Collab Posts are fully supported. If through Instagram — only posts where you are the original author are available. This is a restriction from Meta. If you are a co-author rather than the original author — log in through Facebook.

Is it safe to connect Instagram to GiveawayOK?

Yes. The connection happens through the official Meta login — we only get read access to comments and never see your password.

Why is login through Facebook or Instagram required?

We need access to your posts and comments through the official Meta API — without it, getting the data is impossible. We support login through Instagram or through a Facebook profile that is an administrator of the page linked to the Instagram account. We cannot post anything on your behalf and do not have such permissions.

What data is included in the Instagram comments file?

Instead of hours of manual copy-paste

Routine data collection under large-scale posts takes hours. GiveawayOK automates the entire process and quickly produces a ready-made table.

Why people choose GiveawayOK to export comments from Instagram
