The Instagram Scraper node searches Instagram by hashtag and returns real public posts — images, videos, captions, and engagement metrics — for the query you connect. Results come from the public Instagram explore feed. Runs are repeatable: the node maps your query and settings directly to a hashtag search instead of improvising one.

When to use

  • Social listening — track what people are posting under a hashtag
  • Visual trend research — browse real post creatives by topic
  • Influencer and competitor benchmarking — see engagement on public content
Common pattern: text_prompt → instagram_scraper.

Inputs

Query
text
required
The hashtag or keyword to search. The node strips # characters and whitespace and searches Instagram’s explore feed. Required.

Outputs

Results
any
Everything the scrape produced — post records, images, videos, and the summary — as one connectable output. Connect it to an AI node’s Context input to analyse or rewrite the content.

Referencing results in prompts

Connect Results to a Generate Text node’s Context input. Each item gets a stable name you can use in your prompt — [post_1], [image_2], [text_1] — e.g. “Rewrite the caption of post_2 for our brand voice; ignore the rest.”
