I have a requirement to use apify/instagram-scraper to search for a total of max 20,000 posts across 1,000 hashtags within the current day

Hi team, I have a requirement to use apify/instagram-scraper to search for a total of max 20,000 posts across 1,000 hashtags within the current day. If the combined posts from all hashtags exceed 20,000, we only need to return the first 20,000 posts (due to a strict budget limit of 20,000 posts—no additional spending is allowed). Is there has an total counts of posts in a sigle hashtag? or is any oterher solution for my requirement?

Hi 😊
For the strict limit you can use the "Maximum charged results" (maxItems if doing an API call) and set it to 20000 - the actor will generally go "wide" before it goes deep, meaning that it is likely to start with the first page of each URL before going deeper, but it will not go consistently equally deep depending on retries and timeouts. I think it is probably the behavior you want in this case though 🤔
I'll close this issue now, but feel free to reopen it if you have further questions, otherwise feel free to reach out again if you experience any issues 😊
