What is Instagram Hashtag Scraper?

How to scrape Instagram hashtags

Just follow the steps below: Create a free Apify account. Open Instagram Hashtag Scraper. Add one or more Instagram hashtags to scrape. Click "Save & Start" and wait for the datasets to be extracted. Download your data in JSON, XML, CSV, Excel, or HTML.

How many results can you scrape with Instagram Hashtag Scraper?

Instagram Hashtag Scraper can return tens of thousands of results on average. However, you have to keep in mind that scraping Instagram has many variables to it and may cause the results to fluctuate case by case. There’s no one-size-fits-all-use-cases number. The maximum number of results may vary depending on the complexity of the input, location, and other factors.

How much will scraping Instagram Hashtags cost you?

When it comes to scraping, it can be challenging to estimate the resources needed to extract data as use cases may vary significantly. That's why the best course of action is to run a test scrape with a small sample of input data and limited output. You’ll get your price per scrape, which you’ll then multiply by the number of scrapes you intend to do. Watch this video for a few helpful tips. And don't forget that choosing a higher plan will save you money in the long run.

Is it legal to scrape Instagram hashtags data?

Our Instagram scrapers are ethical and do not extract any private user data, such as email addresses, gender, or location. They only extract what the user has chosen to share publicly. However, you should be aware that your results could contain personal data. You should not scrape personal data unless you have a legitimate reason to do so. If you're unsure whether your reason is legitimate, consult your lawyers. You can also read our blog post on the legality of web scraping and ethical scraping.
