Summary

Create a scrape job for Instagram post comments

Inputs

  • urls (required) — Instagram post URLs to scrape comments from — one per line or comma-separated
  • jobName — Optional name for this job
  • waitForCompletion — Whether to wait for the job to finish and return results. WARNING: Holds an n8n worker while polling — use a separate Get node on a schedule for long-running jobs.
  • pollInterval — How often to check if the job is done
  • maxWait — Maximum time to wait before timing out
  • resultLimit — Maximum number of results to fetch after job completion

Output shape

array of items, each with json containing _jobId, _scraperId, and comment data (or job creation response if waitForCompletion is false)

If waitForCompletion is false, returns the Weld API job creation response including jobId. If true, polls every pollInterval seconds up to maxWait seconds, then returns results limited by resultLimit.

Examples

Example 1: Immediate job creation

Provide Post URLs; do not wait for completion; subsequent Get node can check status later.

Example 2: Synchronous results

Provide Post URLs with waitForCompletion=true; node polls and returns up to resultLimit comments after job completion.
