Can't get all posts for a specific hashtag

Closed

I'm experiencing a problem when trying to retrieve posts for a specific hashtag. Using the direct URL returns a maximum of 12 posts, and when I perform a query search, I'm only able to access up to 33 top posts, even though I can see that there are 355 posts in total. Is there currently a method or workaround available to fetch all posts associated with this hashtag?

Hi!

In you run the date filter applied "onlyPostsNewerThan": "2025-03-10", please change or remove it to get more posts.

The total amount still might be less than the counter because not all posts are public.

I will close the issue now, but if there is anything else we can help with, please let us know.

Hi, thanks for your reply. I try to run it without the date filter applied and also only got 12 results. Could you tell me if all posts are public and have the hashtag, these posts would appear on the page https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/hashtagname?

Hi!

As a logged-in Instagram user, I see 14 posts for https://www.instagram.com/explore/search/keyword/?q=%23vinylinkcomasinimigasdofim - 2 restricted by age, so will not be visible without login. 12 are public. You're getting over 300 under your account, probably because you followed related private profiles.

Hi! I see. Do you know what might prevent a post from appearing on the tags page? For example, this posts includes the hashtag #VinylInkComAsInimigasDoFim, and the profiles are public. Also, does this scraper work on Reels?

Hi!

I don't know. IG might not display all hashtags for posts and events if they consider them "not following community standards."

For reels, just choose the option "Scrape profile reels"; it works for hashtags as well.

Hi, thank you. Setting the "Scrape profile reels" option with the direct URL to the tags page worked. However, I've encountered an issue with the date filter, it doesn't seem to be working as expected. I did two runs: one with the filter enabled and one without. Even though nearly all posts are dated after the specified date, the run with the filter returned significantly fewer results.

Hi!

Date filtering for tagged posts is strictly not recommended, because tagged posts are not sorted by time. Output might be more or less correct because tagged posts are partially matched by the time, however, we never expect accurate results.
