Could not get any comments #28

I use this: instagram-screen-scrape comments --post _postid to retrieve comments of _postid but always get an empty list.

The provided example also returned nothing: instagram-screen-scrape comments --post 0qPcnuI4Pr

As far as I know, IG did replace their api with graphql, at least for comments. I don't think there is an easy fix for that, the queries needs to be rewritten. I believe that, in a short period, posts will also stop working.
