The official documentation for the Facebook APIs can be found here.

Get user that made the comment in facebooks instagram graph api – Facebook api

Im building an application that manages comments for instagram business profiles, and i’m a little surprised that there doesn’t seem to be a way to get info of the user who made the comment.

The docs seem to point this way too:

Reading a Comment

To read an individual comment’s metadata, send a GET request to the /{instagram_comment_id} node and include any of the following fields:

…

user (only returned if the user making the query also made the comment)

So, am i to understand that there is no way to get the info of a user which made a comment on a media of the profile i manage or is there something i am missing? any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance

    somehow I was able to get the username from graph API, but I’m not getting the fields name, profile_picture_url, etc. this is my URL for getting the username.

    GET https://graph.facebook.com/v2.11
    /123?fields=mentioned_comment.comment_id(456){user{id, username}, text}

    123 – instagram_business_account id

    456 – comment id

    You can get full user details from username by Calling Instagram API(Maybe it’s against there privacy policy). suppose stackoverflow is the username, by calling this API you will get full data.
