# Find Instagram Posts and Reels by Keywords and Hashtags

**Use case:** 

Find up to 10 public posts or Reels matching #coffee OR #latteart. Replace the query with your keywords and hashtags, using AND, OR and NOT to refine discovery. Export matching content for research. Successful search pages are charged separately, including pages that produce no matching results; restrictive queries may return fewer results.

## Input

```json
{
  "searchQuery": "#coffee OR #latteart",
  "resultsLimit": 10,
  "contentType": "posts_and_reels",
  "hashtagFeedType": "top",
  "searchCoverage": "efficient",
  "oldestPostDate": "",
  "newestPostDate": "",
  "minimumLikes": 0,
  "minimumComments": 0,
  "minimumViews": 0,
  "strictBooleanSyntax": false
}
```

## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/scraping_solutions/instagram-boolean-search-scraper-posts-reels.md

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).
