Instagram Hashtag Scraper & Monitor: Only New Posts Daily

Instagram Hashtag Scraper - Paste a list of hashtags, run it every day, and see which top posts are new since your last run - no duplicates to clean up.

What does Instagram Hashtag Scraper do?

A 'new since last run' diff: every row has isNew and firstSeenAt, an 'only new posts' switch drops what you already saw, and each hashtag gets its top 10 co-occurring hashtags.

• Paste many hashtags and get one flat dataset with a hashtag column on every row
• Remembers earlier runs: isNew flag, firstSeenAt, and an 'only new posts' switch
• Top 10 hashtags used next to each of your tags, with counts
• Post URL, caption, posted time, views, views per hour, owner and media links - export to CSV
• Public pages only, no login or cookies

Why this Instagram Hashtag Scraper?

The low cases fail because they are near-copies of the big scrapers with no extra output and no reason to switch, so nobody finds or keeps them. This Instagram Hashtag Scraper checks every run and tells you plainly when a page could not be read, instead of returning empty or wrong rows.

FAQ

Does Instagram Hashtag Scraper need a login, cookies or an API key? No. It reads public pages only.

Can I run Instagram Hashtag Scraper on a schedule? Yes - with Apify Schedules; each run returns fresh rows.

Can I call it from Python, JavaScript or an AI agent? Yes - through the Apify API, the Apify client libraries or the Apify MCP server.

Is it legal? It collects only data anyone can see without logging in. You are responsible for using it within the source site's terms and data protection law (GDPR, CCPA).

What if the site blocks a request? The run retries from a fresh connection and, if it still cannot read the page, stops with a clear message - never with made-up rows.

Do I need proxies? No setup needed - Instagram Hashtag Scraper uses Apify Proxy by default where the site needs it.

Troubleshooting

• No results: check the input (a public URL or a search term that returns results in a normal browser), then try the example input once.
• Fewer results than expected: raise the maximum in the input; some sites show only a part of their data without logging in, and Instagram Hashtag Scraper never logs in.
• The run stopped with a message: the message says what the site answered; run it again later or with fewer items.
