Instagram Scraper
Search Instagram Hashtag Posts
Use this when you know the exact hashtag and want Google-indexed public Instagram posts or reels, optional date filters, and pagination. It returns post details such as caption, engagement, owner, and post time. Results are best-effort and not a complete Instagram-native hashtag feed. For an Instagram-curated topic page with generated context and suggested terms, use /v1/instagram/search/popular. Pass media_type=reels to only return reels. Cursors are limited to pages 1 through 11; cursor 12 or greater returns a 400 response.
