How to Use Instagram Hashtag Scraper to Extract Data (2026 Guide)

What is Instagram Hashtag Scraper?

Extract Instagram hashtag posts, reels, and engagement data for trend analysis and content research. Export to Excel, CSV, or JSON.

The Instagram Hashtag Scraper monitors any hashtag end to end: top and recent posts, captions, authors, like and comment counts, view counts for reels, posting times, and co-occurring hashtags. Content teams use it for trend discovery, campaign-hashtag tracking, and finding rising creators before they peak. Hashtag feeds load dynamically, so the scraper drives a real browser session on Apify's cloud and pages through results automatically. Export to Excel or JSON to chart hashtag velocity, brief creators with data-backed angles, and archive campaign performance in one dataset. Benchmark branded hashtags against category tags to prove share of conversation.
