Is there an instagram scraper by hashtag (posts)

[alaadinou]

Hello,

I am looking for an instagram bot that can scrapes popular posts by hashtag ?


For example : #Sneakers

Filters : > 500 likes
> 500 Comments

The bot scrapes the posts that has the posts ( on popular page ) and the results are :

Post 1 : www.instagram.com/p/XXXXXXXXX
Post 2 : www.instagram.com/p/YYYYYYYYY
Post 3 : www.instagram.com/p/ZZZZZZZZZZ

A BHW member has made this free service https://vurku.com/ which has a scraper. Not sure if it does exactly what you want though (filters).

Other free options would be to code something using the python insta.py or PHP mg25 libraries on github. There may even be another tool from a BHW member but I cannot for the life of me think of the name.

Otherwise you need a to buy a bot. Any of the major bots should be able to do it as it is fairly basic functionality, but to be sure best to reach out to their support and ask them directly (good way to test the re-activeness of their support as well

the problem is that i need a bot that can scrape pages of a given hashtag using the mobile app , as the web browser can only show 9 popular posts

but thanks for your help Martin

You sure? I just looked at the response for a hashtag request, you get 9 ranked items and X recent items. There is a cursor to request the next page of results, when that is pulled, there are not more ranked items

I have a bot I can run that'll scrap all posts for a given hashtags.
Outputs include profileURL, postURL, description and likes.

Do this and they filter out the ones with more than 500 likes? Only problem is I'm currently capped at around 20k posts per hashtags (a bit slow execution so time consuming).
