Instagram Hashtag Scraper

Overview

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.
