Response

Sample Request

curl -X GET \
  'https://graph.facebook.com/v26.0/17841405309211844?fields=mentioned_comment.comment_id(17873440459141021){timestamp,like_count,text,id}&access_token=IGQVJ...'

Sample Response

{
  "mentioned_comment": {
    "timestamp": "2017-05-03T16:09:08+0000",
    "like_count": 185,
    "text": "Shout out to @metricsaurus",
    "id": "17873440459141021"
  },
  "id": "17841405309211844"
}

Field Expansion

You can expand the media field with a list of IG Media fields to get additional data on the IG Media entity on which the comment was made. For example:
media{id,media_url}
v10.0 and older calls until September 7, 2021: The like_count field on an IG Media will return 0 if the media owner has hidden⁠ like counts on it.
v11.0+ calls, and all versions on September 7, 2021: If indirectly querying an IG Media through another endpoint or field expansion, the like_count field will be omitted from API responses if the media owner has hidden like counts on it. Directly querying the IG Media (which can only be done by the IG Media owner) will return the actual like count, however, even if like counts have been hidden.

Sample Field Expansion Request

curl -X GET \
  'https://graph.facebook.com/v26.0/17841405309211844?fields=mentioned_comment.comment_id(17873440459141021){timestamp,like_count,text,media{id,media_url}}&access_token=IGQVJ...'

Sample Field Expansion Response

{
  "mentioned_comment": {
    "timestamp": "2017-05-03T16:09:08+0000",
    "like_count": 185,
    "text": "Shout out to @metricsaurus",
    "id": "17873440459141021",
    "media": {
      "id": "17895695668004550",
      "media_url": "https://scont..."
    }
  },
  "id": "17841405309211844"
}
If you are using field expansion to access an edge that supports cursor-based pagination, the response will include before and after cursors if the response contains multiple pages of data. Unlike standard cursor-based pagination, however, the response will not include previous or next fields, so you will have to use the before and after cursors to construct previous and next query strings manually in order to page through the returned data set.
