Instagram API

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.

FAQ

About the Instagram Hashtag recent posts API

The AnyAPI Instagram Hashtag recent posts API returns Instagram hashtag recent posts data as normalized JSON from one POST call to /v1/run/instagram.hashtag_recent_posts. 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. AnyAPI routes each request across 3 sources and falls back automatically when one fails. It costs from $1.20 per 1,000 requests, in US dollars with no subscription and no monthly minimum. Over the last 30 days, 100.0% of Instagram hashtag recent posts calls through AnyAPI succeeded, with a median response time of 3.6 seconds across 52,702 measured calls.

It costs from $1.20 per 1,000 requests, in US dollars with no subscription and no monthly minimum. You fund one USD wallet and each call draws it down. Some failed wallet-funded requests incur processing charges that we pass through at cost, with no markup; the error response shows the amount charged.

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. The response is normalized JSON with the same envelope every AnyAPI endpoint returns, so parsing a second endpoint is a change of URL and nothing else.

Over the last 30 days, 100.0% of Instagram hashtag recent posts calls through AnyAPI succeeded, with a median response time of 3.6 seconds across 52,702 measured calls. These are AnyAPI's own measurements of traffic through the gateway, recomputed continuously, not a published service-level target.

Yes. A new AnyAPI account starts with $0.10 of free balance and no card required, which covers 83 Instagram Hashtag recent posts calls at $0.0012 each.

AnyAPI asks the next of its 3 sources in the same request, cheapest first, so one source going down does not fail your call.

Send a POST request to https://api.getanyapi.com/v1/run/instagram.hashtag_recent_posts with your AnyAPI key in an "Authorization: Bearer" header and the input as a JSON body. The same key and the same wallet work on every AnyAPI endpoint.

No. You add US dollars to one prepaid AnyAPI balance and each request draws it down. There is no monthly plan and no minimum, and the same balance pays for every AnyAPI endpoint.

Yes. Install @getanyapi/sdk from npm for TypeScript or getanyapi from pip for Python. Both call every AnyAPI endpoint with the same key, and any HTTP client works too.

Yes. An agent can connect to the AnyAPI MCP server at https://api.getanyapi.com/mcp, or create its own free-trial key with one unauthenticated POST to https://api.getanyapi.com/agent/signup and call this endpoint over HTTP.
