call.comments contains the total comment_count, the post caption, and an ordered comments array. Each comment carries its id, text, numeric and RFC 3339 time, author (including the platform verified badge), like_count, child_count, up to 10 preview_children, liked_by_media_owner and has_translation. An empty page returns an empty comments array.

call.media_downloads adds Anycap download links while preserving the original third-party URLs. Only status=ready entries can be downloaded without an API key. Links expire 2 hours after call.completed_at, as shown in expires_at; reading the result does not renew them.

For pagination, pass the previous response's next_min_id unchanged as input.min_id and use a new idempotency key for the new page. has_more is false when the platform did not report more comments; next_min_id is absent on the last page.
