Comment or Delete a Comment on a Post

This function takes the media_id of a post and text for a comment or the id of a comment to manipulate the comment on the post.

ig_comment(media_id, comment_text, verbose = FALSE)

ig_comment_delete(media_id, comment_id, verbose = FALSE)

Arguments

media_id	numeric; the unique id to identify a post which can be found in the id, not the pk field, of posts returned via many of the functions retrieving feeds.
comment_text	character; the text that would be posted as a comment underneath the post
verbose	logical; do you want informative messages?
comment_id	numeric; the unique id to identify a post which can be found in the "id" on other comments returned via the Instagram API

last_post_media_id <- ig_my_timeline(paginate = FALSE)$id[1]
#> The rank_token is NULL in Rinstapkg's internal .state environment. This can occur if the user is authorized using OAuth 2.0, which doesn't require a rank_token, or the user is not yet performed any authorization routine.
#> When/if needed, 'Rinstapkg' will initiate authentication and authorization.
#> Or run ig_auth() to trigger this explicitly.
