🧩 How It Works

1. Add the actor to your Apify Console.

2. Provide input parameters (usernames, hashtag filter, data type, export format).

3. Run the actor — it fetches profiles and posts asynchronously, collecting all relevant data.

4. Access results in:

   • Dataset → structured JSON records
   • Key-Value Store → downloadable OUTPUT.json, OUTPUT.csv, or OUTPUT.zip

5. Optionally schedule runs or integrate via the Apify API for automation.

If you want, I can also make an even shorter “Apify Store-ready” version with punchy bullet points and emojis to attract users.

Do you want me to do that too?
