Instagram Hashtag Scraper — Find Creators & Leads by Topic

Turn any hashtag into a ready-to-use lead list. Give it a topic — #fitnesscoach, #realestateagent, #skincare — and it returns the creators who actually post about it, each with their email, phone, WhatsApp and links, their follower reach, the topics they cover, and how much engagement their posts get. No login, no manual scrolling, no copy-pasting bios.

It answers the question every outreach list starts with: "who posts about X, and how do I contact them?"

Why this instead of a normal hashtag scraper

Most hashtag scrapers dump posts. For lead gen you don't want posts — you want people. This actor flips it around:

• 🎯 People, not posts — results are de-duplicated creators, one row each, not a feed of posts. A creator who shows up 8 times becomes one clean lead.
• 🧠 You learn what they're about — every creator carries the hashtags/topics they appeared under, how many of their posts matched, and the likes + comments those posts earned. You instantly see what someone posts about and how engaged their audience is before you reach out.
• 📇 You get how to reach them — business email & phone, plus emails hidden in the bio text (regex-parsed, not just the business field), WhatsApp, all bio links and the link-in-bio service (Linktree, Beacons, Taplink…).
• 🔎 You target the right ones — filter by bio/name keywords, verified, business/creator, and follower range (perfect for finding micro-influencers).

Use it for influencer discovery, cold outreach, partnership sourcing, local-business lead gen, and competitor-audience research — anywhere you'd otherwise hand-collect creators one profile at a time.

Input

Field	Type	Description
hashtags	array	Required. Topics to mine, with or without #, one per line.
postsPerHashtag	integer	Posts to scan per hashtag (more = more creators). Default 100.
sort	string	top (higher-reach creators), recent (most active), or clips (Reels only).
enrichContacts	boolean	Look up each creator's profile + contacts (default true). Off = cheaper discovery-only list.
bioKeywords	array	Keep only creators whose bio/name/category contains one of these words.
onlyVerified / onlyBusiness	boolean	Keep only verified, or business/creator, accounts.
minFollowers / maxFollowers	integer	Follower range — e.g. 1000–50000 for micro-influencers.
maxCreators	integer	Optional cap on total creators returned.

}

Private or not-found creators return a row with error and are not billed.

Pricing (pay per creator)

You pay for de-duplicated creators, never for the posts scanned to find them — and the premium rate only when a contact is actually found.

Event	Price	When
creator-found	$0.006	a creator discovered under the topic (profile + reach + engagement), no contact found
creator-contact	$0.015	the lead: a creator with a public email, phone or WhatsApp

A run that surfaces 500 creators, 300 of them with a contact, costs 200 × $0.006 + 300 × $0.015 = $5.70. Discovery, topic intelligence, and contacts in one pass.

Notes

• Works for any public hashtag; creators found across several hashtags are merged into one row with all their topics.
• Contacts come only from what a creator makes public on their own profile.
• Pairs naturally with the Instagram Followers Scraper (audience export) and Instagram Email & Contact Extractor (enrich a known username list).
