Instagram Hashtag Posts & Reels Scraper · No Login

Enter any hashtag — #fitnesscoach, #realestate, #skincare — and get every Instagram post and Reel tagged with it. 145 fields per result including full engagement metrics, creator profiles, video URLs, and audio metadata. Optionally enrich each creator with emails, phone numbers, and websites. No login required.

Three Output Modes

Mode	What you get	Price
Basic (default)	Posts/Reels with engagement, captions, audio, creator stubs	$2.50/1,000 results
Enriched	Everything above + creator email, phone, website, bio, category, follower count	$12/1,000 enriched posts
Enriched + Verified	Everything above + MillionVerifier SMTP email verification	$20/1,000 with verified emails

Real Email Hit Rates (from live test data)

In a live test run, 56% of posts returned a verified creator email in Enriched mode. Business-oriented hashtags (agencies, coaches, freelancers, local businesses) consistently hit 40–60%. This is significantly higher than follower-list scrapers because hashtag search surfaces active, business-profile creators.

FAQ

What does each output mode cost? Pay-per-result on Apify (aligned with the monetization tab): Basic about $2.50 per 1,000 results, Enriched about $12 per 1,000 enriched posts, Enriched + Verified about $20 per 1,000 results with SMTP-verified emails. You are billed per row returned, not per email found.

How is this different from the old Hashtags Scraper on this profile? The old actor only returned hashtag names and post counts (e.g., "beautyblogger: 18M posts") — useless for lead gen. This actor returns the actual posts and Reels with full engagement data and optional creator enrichment.

What's the email hit rate? 40–60% for business-oriented hashtags (agencies, coaches, freelancers, local businesses). Lower (10–20%) for consumer or lifestyle hashtags. You're charged per result returned, not per email found.

What's the difference between Basic and Enriched? Basic gives you post data with creator stubs (username, verified status). Enriched adds a second API call per creator to get their full profile including email, phone, website, bio, and business category.
