Instagram Hashtag & Engagement Scraper
A high-performance Playwright-based scraper designed to extract posts from Instagram hashtag "Explore" pages. Unlike basic scrapers, this tool interacts with the page to extract real-time engagement metrics (Likes and Comments) and provides advanced sorting capabilities.

- Advanced Sorting: Choose to sort your results by
Most Liked,Most Commented, orNewestdirectly in the configuration. - Session Persistence: Integrated with Apify Key-Value Stores to remember your login session, reducing the need to frequently update cookies.
- Infinite Scroll Support: Automatically handles Instagram's dynamic loading to reach your desired
maxPosts(e.g., 100+ posts). - Anti-Block Protection: Optimized for use with Residential Proxies and customized browser headers to mimic human behavior.

Every run generates a structured dataset containing:
- ID: Incremental rank based on your chosen sorting order.
- Username: The handle of the post creator.
- Post URL: Direct link to the Instagram post.

- Image Source: Direct URL to the post thumbnail.
- Likes: Total count (e.g., 1250).
- Comments: Total count (e.g., 84).
