Why Can't I Comment On Instagram?

At times, when brands have a large scale of operation on Instagram, they try to cut corners. Instagram, on the other hand, stays vigilant and actively filters possible spam and repetitive comments.

If you are facing a "This API call does not support the requested response format" error, here's what it means and what you can do about it.

Error:

Facebook error: This API call does not support the requested response format (code 20, subcode 1772111)

Solution

This error occurs when Instagram’s automated systems identify your comment as a potential spam. Here’s how to work around it:

1. Modify Your Message: Change the wording to make it unique.

2. Use Full Sentences: Avoid using short words or just emojis in your comments.

3. Vary Comments: Don’t send the same comment to multiple posts.

4. Take Breaks: Wait for a while if you've been commenting frequently.

5. Review Guidelines: Read the Instagram Platform Policy and Community Guidelines for more details.
