I guess currently the only way to get all the results then filter out dataset by https://apify.com/lukaskrivka/dedup-datasets

Hi, I am planning to develop a sentiment analysis application for my organization. since twitter and instagram not allowing to access user-data for above ssaid task, i am thinking of going with APIFY for getting target user(s) data from instagram. but i am concerned about cost. i am not sure that how much i will be charged or how do they charge? As i will be using this API randomly (not regularly) for analyzing the target user(s) profile based on their posts, comments, public comments on their posts, etc.
I am lookin for "Pay as You Use" kind of payment options. Please help with above mentioned queries. If it is per month basis or per request basis?
As i am using free plan of APIFY currently, it doest response properly. i.e if on a perticular post, if there are 18K comments but it (Instagram Comment Scraper) gives me only 45 comments.

Sure, everything is possible.
You might want to explore the Apify Store to find the scraper you're looking for (although I'm not aware of your competitors). You can find a brief description of each scraper in the ReadMe section: https://apify.com/store
For creating your own scraping logic, you can utilize the Web Scraper tool (https://apify.com/apify/web-scraper). However, keep in mind that this requires some basic knowledge of JavaScript. If you're new to this, our Academy section (https://docs.apify.com/academy/web-scraping-for-beginners) offers resources to get you started.
If you don't find the relevant scraper you need in the store, you have the option to seek help from developers in the #hire-freelancers group. This way, you can obtain a custom solution tailored to your requirements.

I tried with all the available twitter scrapers. They claim to extract replies and all other fields of the any user or tweet but actually they cant. Maximum they can retrieve is, no. of replies (but i want replied text). Even paid Scrapers also don't work.
That's because of recent changes in Twitter's policy.
Scraper only collects data that’s publicly available. This means data that’s accessible without logging in to Twitter and without accepting Twitter’s terms of use.
