Facebook api – New Instagram Graph API: How to get the username of a comment with the "Instagram API with Instagram Login"

With the new Instagram Graph API (graph.instagram.com) it is not possible to get the username of comments.
The API is also known as "Instagram API with Instagram Login" (https://developers.facebook.com/docs/instagram-platform/instagram-api-with-instagram-login)

When I specify the field "username" the API does not return a username: https://graph.instagram.com/<media_id>/comments?fields=text,username&access_token=<access_token>

Response:

...
{
"text": "The text of the comment",
"id": "1234567891234"
},
...

When I specify the field from it returns this error:

{
  "error": {
    "message": "Permissions error",
    "type": "IGApiException",
    "code": 200,
    "fbtrace_id": "B65VxFeFQTrxLPcgbSb6c3N"
  }
}

It works with the old Facebook Graph API but not with the new one (graph.instagram.com).

    Since you at least get the text, do you have any idea why I always get an empty array (there are comments and it is from one of the test users I gave access to):

    {
    "data": [],
    "paging": {
        "cursors": {
            "before": "QVFIUk11RnBiUzBSeHdHLXFCamtWaVVwN3Y3dFltT1U2ZA3RTdWc3WVQxS09QU19UVnVIOVlYbVRMZA1pQMWd2T2lXODF1YVdzNk5jQVRzX3RibGNnamhLdmJn",
            "after": "QVFIUjE2RjAzVUoxcjBVZAmdhaEFxeVZAmQTRHcEJDX1M4ZAXJIcmt1T3UybEJDQWwyOU9tT2lENnVkVkJVZAjgzbExVODVMd2tja1BDbElnb3JzaU9teXlaQktn"
        },
        "next":"..."
    }
}

    Using From in the Fields works for me. Try playing around with permissions and it would work.
