Instagram Hashtag recent posts API
Instagram posts published under a hashtag, newest first, read from its live chronological feed rather than a web search index. Built for monitoring: results arrive within a couple of minutes of posting, so engagement counts are usually still zero and reels do not appear (Instagram keeps those on a separate tab). For engagement-ranked results use instagram.hashtag_top_posts; for older relevance-ranked results use instagram.search_hashtag.
