Instagram Hashtag Posts Scraper

Get posts and reels for any Instagram hashtag. Returns the same post objects as post search (captions, engagement metrics, media URLs, author metadata) plus the hashtag's total post count. Choose the top, recent, or reels tab, and fetch multiple pages in a single call.

Features

• Real-time Instagram data — results are fetched live at run time, never cached or stale
• No login, cookies, or proxy configuration needed — just provide the input and run
• Each result is pushed as a separate dataset item, exportable as JSON, CSV, or Excel
• Fast: a typical run finishes in seconds

Input

Field	Type	Required	Description
hashtag	string	yes	Hashtag, with or without the leading # (max 100 characters)
pages	integer	no	Number of pages to fetch, 1-10 (default: 1). Each page adds up to about 30 posts; repeats across pages are removed.
sort_by	string	no	Hashtag tab: top, recent, or reels (default: top) One of: top, recent, reels.

Pricing

This Actor is billed per page of results — $0.006 per page.

• Results come in pages. Use the pages input to choose how many pages to fetch (1–10); more pages means more results.
• You pay $0.006 for each page you fetch, so pages: 3 costs $0.018 and pages: 1 costs $0.006.
• You’re only charged when a run succeeds. Failed runs are free.
