How this service works
Get posts and reels for any Instagram hashtag.
Output
Returns a list of Instagram posts or reels for the specified hashtag, including post content, metadata, and (if requested) Plutchik's Wheel emotion scores per post — covering dominant emotion, intensity, polarity, and individual emotion scores. Duplicate posts across pages are removed.
Example use cases
Brand hashtag campaign monitoring
“Fetch the top 3 pages of Instagram posts for the hashtag #NikeRunning, sorted by top posts, so I can see what content is performing best for that campaign.”
Competitor reels trend research
“Get me the latest Instagram reels for #proteinshake — just 1 page sorted by reels — so I can see what video content competitors are putting out right now.”
Sentiment analysis on product hashtag
“Pull 2 pages of recent Instagram posts tagged #oatmilk and turn on the sentiment analysis so I can understand the emotional tone people are using around that topic.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://x402.apidirect.io/v1/instagram/hashtag/posts?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need to retrieve Instagram posts or reels by hashtag at scale, especially when you want built-in deduplication across pages and optional AI emotion analysis. It is ideal for social listening, brand monitoring, influencer research, and trend detection on Instagram where direct API access is unavailable.
Side effects
- Invalid or non-existent hashtag returns empty results
- Pages parameter out of range (1–10) causes validation error
- Rate limiting or Instagram-side blocking may reduce result count
- Payment failure (insufficient USDC) blocks the request
- Sentiment flag adds cost; unexpected billing if enabled unintentionally
