There is a POST method for to create comments, but it says the following:
Create a comment on a media. Please email apidevelopers[at]instagram.com for access.
See: http://instagram.com/developer/endpoints/comments/#
So do I have to get whitelisted for to be able to post comments or is the access_token enough?
The API can be used to get and publish their media, manage and reply to comments on their media, identify media where they have been @mentioned by other Instagram users, find hashtagged media, and get basic metadata and metrics about other Instagram Businesses and Creators.
Officially, you cannot post a photo to Instagram with their API.
On the 29th of June, 2020, Instagram will stop using the old API (“Basic Permission”) to display photos from personal Instagram accounts to widgets. 3rd party apps using this, current API will no longer be able to display photos from your account if they don't switch to the new API after this date.
To get non-organic comments, use the Marketing API and request the Ad's effective_instagram_story_id . You can then query the returned ID's /comments edge to get a collection of non-organic Instagram Comments. Refer to the Marketing API's Post Moderation guide for more information.
Yes it is possible to post comments on Instagram via API. You have to get whitelisted now, so you have to email. This was not the case before, you were able to use commenting in api whithout whitelisting, but because of some apps spamming and abusing the comments feature, commenting now has to be whitelisted
