Instagram Hashtag Scraper — Posts, Reels, Likes & Views

$0.99 per 1,000 posts — cheaper than the $1.00+ alternatives, with no login and no monthly fee. You pay only for the posts you actually get. Scrape every post and Reel under any Instagram hashtag and export it to CSV, JSON or Excel.

Why this one

• 💸 Lowest price on the Store — a flat $0.99 / 1,000 posts, undercutting the popular $1.00+ hashtag scrapers. A 10,000-post export costs $9.90.
• 📦 Deep export — paginates as far as Instagram will serve the feed; set the limit high and let it run.
• 🔓 No login, no API key, no Business account — just hashtags in, data out.
• ⚡ Fast & pay-per-result — billed only per post delivered; failed hashtags cost nothing.

What you get per post

Caption, likes, comments, views/plays, media type (photo / video / reel / carousel), timestamp, the author (username, name, verified), the post URL, video URL and thumbnail.

Input

Field	Type	Description
hashtags	array	Required. Hashtags to scrape, with or without #.
sort	string	top (the hashtag's top posts) or clips (Reels only). Instagram no longer exposes a public most-recent hashtag feed.
maxPostsPerHashtag	integer	Posts per hashtag — set high for a deep export (feed ends on its own).
maxPosts	integer	Optional hard cap across all hashtags (0 = no cap).

{
  "hashtags": ["travel", "#food", "fitness"],
  "sort": "top",
  "maxPostsPerHashtag": 5000
}

Notes

• Instagram limits how deep a hashtag feed goes, so "all posts" means all posts Instagram will serve for that tag.
• Looking for the creators behind the posts (de-duplicated, with contact details for outreach)? Use the Instagram Hashtag Scraper — Find Creators & Leads by Topic.
