How to do nested replies to comments?

[Basti117607]

Hello everyone,

I am working on a project where I need to automatically reply to certain comments on my Instagram posts. However, I am encountering an issue where, when I use the media_comment method, it posts a new comment instead of replying to the existing comment.

Here's a snippet of my code:

for media in user_medias:
comments = cl.media_comments(media.pk)
for i, comment in enumerate(comments, 1):
# ... (code for generating a response)
if response:
try:
# Post the generated response as a new comment on the media
cl.media_comment(media.pk, response)
print(f"Successfully responded to comment ID {comment_id}.")
except Exception as e:
print(f"Could not respond to comment ID {comment_id}: {e}")

In this code, cl is an instance of Client, user_medias is a list of media objects, and response is the text I want to post in reply to each comment.

I want the response to appear as a reply to the original comment, rather than a new comment on the post. Is there a way to achieve this? If not, are there any workarounds or other libraries/methods that might help me accomplish this?

So what am I missing, is there another possibility in the library that I didn't see?

Thank you in advance.
