How this service works
Search Apify Store actors, start actor runs, and fetch results over x402 and MPP.
Output
A list of Instagram search results (up to the specified searchLimit per search term), structured as JSON objects containing profile/place/hashtag metadata such as names, follower counts, descriptions, and optionally Facebook business emails for users.
Example use cases
Local business discovery via Instagram
“Search Instagram for places matching 'coffee shop tokyo' and return up to 15 results — I want to see which coffee shops have an Instagram presence there.”
Hashtag research for a marketing campaign
“Find the top 30 Instagram hashtags related to 'vegan food' so I can plan which tags to use in our next campaign.”
Influencer and brand profile lookup
“Search Instagram for user profiles matching 'fitness coach' and give me up to 25 results, and also try to pull their Facebook business page email if available.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://stableapify.dev/api/actors/apify/instagram-search-scraper/callWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need to programmatically search Instagram by keyword for places, users, or hashtags without managing Apify actor infrastructure yourself, and when pay-per-call x402 micropayment billing is preferred over a subscription. Prefer this over direct Apify API calls when you want a simplified, normalized input interface and automatic result fetching in one call.
Side effects
- Invalid or empty search keyword returns an error
- searchType enum value not one of place/user/hashtag causes validation failure
- Instagram rate limiting or anti-bot measures may reduce result count or cause actor failure
- Payment failure via x402 prevents the run from starting
- searchLimit exceeding 250 is rejected by schema validation
- Network timeout if actor run takes too long to complete
