Given Instagram comment id, how to retrieve its original media id? Passing count into http.call?

Question 1:

I have only Instagram comment-id, is it possible to retrieve its original media-id?

Question 2:

Using instagram media-id, through http.call (GET), collecting comments of the specific media-id

Let's say the totalMediaCount is 33.

for(i=0; i<totalMediaCount; i++) {
    HTTP.call('GET', 'https://api.instagram.com/v1/media/' + media-id[i] + '/comments?access_token=' + instagramAccessToken, {}, function(error, response) {
        if (error) {
            console.log(error);
        } else {    
            //console.log(response);
            console.log(i);
    });
}

The result is:

33

33

33

33 ...

33

33

Which I expect to have the result like this:

0

1

2

3

4

5

...

30

31

32

What is the issue?

  1. cannot get media_id from a comment_id, no APIs for it

  2. HTTP.call is asynchronous, so the for is loop is complete by the time the first HTTP.call is executed.

try this:

for(i=0; i<totalMediaCount; i++) {
    var index = i;
    HTTP.call('GET', 'https://api.instagram.com/v1/media/' + media-id[index] + '/comments?access_token=' + instagramAccessToken, {}, function(error, response) {
        if (error) {
            console.log(error);
        } else {    
            //console.log(response);
            console.log(index);
    });
}
