Field source: eight fields and usage guide. The sample explains fields and layout; it does not prove a post's comments or result count.

01 — Quick Start

Complete the first run in six action groups

Every instruction stays visible; public installation still depends on Chrome Web Store approval.

01

Install after Store approval

The public listing is still in review. Once approved, choose Add to Chrome and confirm Add extension. Readers who already have the extension can skip this step.

02 — Who it is for and how to choose

Who it is for

Start with one post, then use your existing workflow

The exporter saves reviewable top-level comment rows; categorization, conclusions, and follow-up stay in your own tools.

Content teams

Turn one post's top-level comments into a sheet for manual issue, feedback, and content tagging.

Campaign review

Save the comments available from one campaign post at a known point in time.

Research teams

Pass comment text and source identifiers into an existing spreadsheet, script, or AI workflow.

Team handoff

Deliver reviewable CSV, JSON, or XLSX rows instead of relying on screenshots.

Long-run operators

Pause, resume, or stop serial page collection while keeping confirmed partial rows.

Repeat file users

Download retained results again from local History instead of collecting them again.

Choose a tool

One post, local tasks, batches, and replies are different jobs

Web Tidy focuses on top-level comments from one current post. Choose another route when you need a hosted form, multiple URLs, replies, or schedules.

03 — Features, fields, and recovery

Current capability

A narrow scope with visible task state

This release does not include replies, Reels, or multi-link batches; those boundaries and interruption states remain explicit.

One target, top-level comments

One task binds to one /p/ post and handles visible top-level comments available to the current session.

Three local formats

Use CSV for interchange, XLSX for office spreadsheets, or JSON for scripts and downstream systems.

Explicit rows and pacing

Choose the row ceiling and page-request wait separately; settings stay fixed during the run.

Pause and resume

Cursor, dedupe keys, and confirmed rows stay local so the same task can continue.

Attention instead of false success

Login, verification, challenge, rate limits, empty pages, or stalled cursors do not become a fake completion.

Local History

Review terminal tasks and download retained results again from History.

Output fields

Eight columns cover author, content, time, and engagement

Values come from the current Instagram response; unavailable values remain blank.

Author

User Id
