Get all comments of public media with instagram api (without access token)

For text-mining project , I want to get all comments of specific media (image or video) from public account on Instagram and based on developers documentation any get action needs Access Token for security issues.

According to similar questions on internet, it is not possible to access comments endpoint without access token , But I don't know and can't understand the reason of using this limitation for public accounts.

I checked the ajax response with firebug for comments but I think this is not the good solution . is there any better solution ?

most likely your answer would be: no, there shouldn't be any better solution

the access token is a measure to protect against DoS and DDoS https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DoS#Distributed_DoS

so there is a strong rationale behind it, and measures should be in place to avoid you to work around it
