24 tools do this job
Give your agent a post URL on Instagram, a video on YouTube, a thread on Reddit or a post on LinkedIn and get the comments back as rows: author, text, likes, time, replies. 24 tools across these sources answer through 鹦鹉AI, each at its own rate, from under one credit per call. This is the raw material of social listening, not the dashboard: the rows come back and your agent does the reading.
Billed per call, for what you use. No card required.
18 of the 24 tools that answer this job are live-verified against their upstream.
Try it
1 · Set your agent up, once
set up 鹦鹉AI — https://parrot.amorist.cn/llms.txt
2 · Then ask for the job
Using 鹦鹉AI, get every comment on these three Instagram posts and this YouTube video, show me the price per source first, then group the comments into questions, complaints and praise, quote the three most upvoted in each group with a link, and tell me how many comments you actually fetched per post.
Every tool here takes one post, video or thread and returns its comments. Comments by one user across many posts is a different job and no tool here does it.
鹦鹉AI prints the rate for each source before the call, so the run has a number on it before it starts.
Three thousand comments is not an answer. The forty that matter are, and that is what the agent is for.
Comments paginate. A tool that returns the first page and stops is a partial read that looks complete unless the count is on the table.
Why 鹦鹉AI
Charged per call. No card, no minimum; top up the prepaid balance.
Another tool is a different word in the prompt, not a new integration.
From the field
Of the ~210 Reddit and X posts read in August 2026 about seventy were on the job, and eleven promotional clusters were excluded, including one coordinated push across seven X accounts and one post with a word joiner hidden inside its words. These five are people trying to read comments, not sell a tool.
“Is there a way/tool to find all instagram comments of a particular user?”
r/OSINT, 17 points
What this page can do about it:Not through any tool here, and not through any tool in the catalog. The tools go post to comments. Saying so plainly is worth more than a page that lets an agent try and fail.
“Looking for a free open-source tool to scrape Instagram comments (approx. 500)”
r/osinttools, 6 points
What this page can do about it:Not free, but cheap: five hundred Instagram comments is a handful of pages at under a credit each, from a prepaid balance with no card. The open source route works until the platform changes; the paid tool is somebody else's job to keep working.
“How can I do a cron job that scrape likes and comments on Instagram without get banned”
r/DataHoarder
What this page can do about it:By not using your account. The paid tools here fetch public posts on the tool's side, so there is no session of yours to flag. What they cannot reach is a private account, and no tool should be expected to.
“a video with 3,000 comments might have 40 that are actually useful to me and the rest is noise”
r/claude, 3 points
What this page can do about it:That is the whole design of the prompt on this page: fetch cheaply, then have the agent group and quote. The fetch is the commodity; the filtering is where the reader's own judgement, and the model, earn their keep.
“People won't say 'this product lacks value.' They'll say 'idk man feels overpriced for what it is'”
r/AIAgentsStack, 24 points
What this page can do about it:Which is the case for raw comments over a sentiment score. A keyword dashboard misses that sentence; an agent reading the rows does not. The rows are the cheap part, and they are what this page sells.
The detail
Every other tool is a direct call and the choice is yours.
A scraped LinkedIn post is public data fetched by the tool, and LinkedIn's terms are LinkedIn's. Several tools here have not been called live through 鹦鹉AI yet and carry no verified date: Bright Data on all three sources, ScrapeCreators on Reddit, TikHub on LinkedIn. Run one post before an agent runs a thousand.
Background
Strictly, it is the fetch step of social listening: a call that takes a post and returns the public comments under it as structured rows, so software can read them instead of a person scrolling. The listening suites sell the whole loop, monitoring, alerts, sentiment and a dashboard, by the seat. These tools sell the one part that is hard to build, getting the comments off the source, per call, and leave the reading to your agent. On YouTube the official Data API does this for any public video. On Instagram the official API only reaches comments on posts you manage, which is why the paid tools exist: they fetch comments on anyone's public post. Reddit and LinkedIn have paid tools only.
Questions
No. Every tool takes a post and returns its comments. There is no tool that takes a username and returns everything they have written, on any of these sources, and this page will not pretend one exists.
For the fetch, yes, and for a few credits rather than a seat. For the rest, no: there is no alerting, no dashboard and no case management here. The rows return comments, your agent reads them, and you decide what to build on top.
Nothing here uses your account except the two official tools, which use it the way the platform intends. The paid tools run on the tool's own infrastructure and return public data; 鹦鹉AI holds the tool keys and you never log in anywhere.
