Instagram Search Scraper — Hashtag, Keyword & Place

Search Instagram the way a person would — by hashtag, keyword, or location — and get back structured post and Reel data. No login required, runs fully anonymously.

Who this is for

  • Content & social media managers researching what's actually performing under a hashtag before planning a campaign.
  • Marketers & brand strategists doing competitive and trend research across a niche or industry.
  • Researchers studying how a topic, event, or keyword is being discussed on Instagram.
  • Agencies building content pitches backed by real examples of what's working right now.

What you can do with it

Use caseHow
Hashtag content researchSearch a hashtag (e.g. #sustainablefashion) and see the actual top-performing posts and Reels — captions, view counts, and creators — to plan your own content.
Competitor & trend monitoringSearch a keyword tied to your industry and track what content is trending around it week over week.
Influencer discoverySurface accounts actively posting in your niche via hashtag/keyword search, as a starting point for outreach.
Market researchPull a structured sample of real public posts around a topic for sentiment or trend analysis, without manually scrolling Instagram.

How it works

Give it a search term and choose hashtag, keyword, or place search. It queries Instagram's own search data — the same data that powers the app's Explore/Search tab — and returns clean, structured post/Reel data with captions, engagement counts, and media links. Runs anonymously; no Instagram account of yours is ever used.

Every row also includes id, productType, displayUrl, videoUrl, likesCount, commentsCount, location, and timestamp.

Pricing

Pay per result — you're charged for what you actually get back, not for compute time or failed searches:

  • $0.00005 per run start
  • $0.002 per post/Reel returned

Example: a search returning 100 results costs about $0.20. There's no subscription and no minimum spend.

Frequently asked questions

Does this need an Instagram account or session cookies? No — search runs fully anonymously, the same way Instagram's own Explore tab works for a logged-out visitor. No login, no API key, no risk to any account.

What's the difference between hashtag, keyword, and place search? Hashtag search returns posts tagged with a specific hashtag; keyword search matches posts and captions related to a general term; place search finds posts tied to a specific location.

Can I filter for Reels only, or photos only? Yes — the resultsType input lets you request reels, posts, or raw (unfiltered) results.

How fresh is the data? Live — every run queries Instagram directly at the time it runs, there's no cached/stale dataset involved.
