Context

Let's say you want to get 100 profiles that match the hashtag #nature.

Step 1: Open Playground

Sign in, open Playground, pick Instagram, then select Get Hashtag Posts. Enter a hashtag name without the # (for example nature) and click Send request. You will get a table of ~30 instagram posts: caption, username, like, etc.

Socify Playground with Get Hashtag Posts selected and name set to nature — Playground: Instagram → Get Hashtag Posts, name = nature.

Step 2: Fetch more

Click the Next page button to add ~30 more posts to the table. Repeat this process until you have 100 posts.

Socify Playground response with Next page button highlighted — Use Next page button to add the next batch of posts to the table.

Results

Download the CSV. The result is a table of instagram profiles: caption, username, likes, etc. Focus to username column. This is a list of profiles active on that hashtag.

Spreadsheet style table of Instagram hashtag posts with username, likes, and media fields — Sample hashtag posts export: usernames plus media fields.
