About

Given one or more hashtags (with or without the leading #), extracts the hashtag's metadata (total post count) and its top and recent posts — each with shortcode, URL, caption, like/comment counts, timestamp, image URL and whether it is a video.

Data sources, in order of preference:

Instagram's public tags/web_info JSON endpoint (richest — top + recent sections)
Embedded JSON on the /explore/tags/<tag>/ page (edge_hashtag_to_top_posts / edge_hashtag_to_media)
og: meta tags (total post count from the description)

One hashtag-summary item (type: "hashtag") is pushed per tag, followed by one item per post.

Instagram aggressively blocks automated traffic, so this scraper uses the premium Web Unlocker tier.

Premium — uses the managed web unlocker to get past anti-bot protection.

Input

`hashtags`* array	Hashtags (with or without #) or explore/tags URLs.
`maxPosts` integer	Maximum posts (top + recent combined) to return per hashtag.(default: 20)

{
  "hashtags": [
    "nature"
  ],
  "maxPosts": 12
