hashtag crawling not working as before

Closed

I'm encountering an issue with the hashtag crawling feature. It's not functioning as it did previously.

Expected behavior: The crawler should fetch and return the most recent posts (50-80 posts) associated with the specified hashtag.

Actual behavior: The crawler is now searching google and returning the posts as a result of the search query. This creates many duplicate posts and obsolete posts.

Hi!

Instagram applied new data limits and last week we tried to resolve it, including attempt to use google search results as alternative.

Current latest version based on live hashtag feed, please run again.

p.s. please use main Instagram Scraper to get posts per direct hashtag URL. Google results for other actors will be turned off in next few days.

Hi again, I'm going to close this issue for now, but if there's still anything unclear, please, let us know. We appreciate customer feedback!
