Want ~100 Instagram profiles that match a hashtag in seconds.

## Context

Goal: 100 profiles for the hashtag #nature.

## Step 1: Open Playground

Sign in, open https://trysocify.com/dashboard/playground, pick Instagram, then **Get Hashtag Posts**. Enter the hashtag without `#` (example: `nature`) and click **Send request**. You get a table of about **~30 Instagram posts**: caption, username, likes, etc.

## Step 2: Fetch more

Click **Next page** to add ~30 more posts. Repeat until you have 100 posts.

## Results

Download the **CSV**. Focus on the `username` column: profiles active on that hashtag.

## Cost

Endpoint: `GET /v1/instagram/hashtag-posts`. **1 credit per successful request**, so ~100 profiles is about 3 credits (**0.006 USD**).
