How to Scrape Instagram Posts & Reels by Hashtag (Get Creator Emails Too)

Type in any hashtag — #fitnesscoach, #realestate, #skincare — and get every Instagram post and Reel tagged with it, including the creators behind them. This tutorial walks through scraping posts by hashtag and, optionally, enriching each creator's profile with a verified email and phone number. This is built for niche lead generation: find people actively posting in a community, then reach out directly instead of guessing who's relevant from a static follower list.

Three output modes: Basic — posts/Reels with full engagement metrics, captions, audio, creator stubs (from $2.50/1,000 results) Enriched — adds creator email, phone, website, bio, category, follower count (from $12/1,000 enriched posts) Enriched + Verified — adds SMTP email verification (from $20/1,000 results) In a recent test run on business-oriented hashtags, about 56% of enriched posts returned a verified creator email — though this varies a lot by niche (lifestyle/consumer hashtags run lower), so treat that as a directional benchmark, not a guarantee for your specific hashtag.
