# Find Recent Food Hashtag Posts

**Use case:** 

Find public Instagram posts for the food hashtag that were published after 2025-01-01. The overview dataset shows usernames, author details, captions, available likes and comments, media links, and post dates when available. This example asks for up to 10 posts and uses a date filter, which can shorten the run and leave fewer rows to review.

## Input

```json
{
  "hashtags": [
    "food"
  ],
  "maxPostsPerHashtag": 10,
  "newerThan": "2025-01-01"
}
```

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
This Task's input is already configured above — use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.
