# Instagram Hashtag Search

Search Instagram hashtags by keyword and get the matching hashtag names, IDs and post counts. Submit an asynchronous task, then read its standard results.

```json theme={null}
{
  "query": "travel",
  "results_limit": 50
}
```

Provide one keyword in query; a leading # is optional. results\_limit sets how many hashtags to return (default 50, up to 100).

## Standard Result Fields

Task results use the stable SocQ fields below. Source-specific field names and formats are normalized without inferring or enriching values that the source did not provide. To request a smaller field set, use `fields` for MCP queries, `_result_fields` for typed tools, or `--result-fields` in the CLI. Declared fields remain present when their value is `null`.

| Field | Type | Nullable | Description |
| - | - | - | - |
| `id` | `string` | Yes | Unique identifier for this result item. |
| `platform` | `string` | No | Platform the result belongs to, such as `instagram` or `linkedin`. |
| `resource` | `string` | No | SocQ resource represented by the result, such as `videos` or `comments`. |
| `type` | `string` | No | Category of the result item, such as `video`, `post`, or `comment`. |
| `url` | `string` | Yes | Public URL of the result item when available. |
| `published_at` | `string` | Yes | Time the source item was published, in ISO 8601 format when available. |
| `collected_at` | `string` | No | Time SocQ collected or processed this result, in ISO 8601 format. |
| `name` | `string` | Yes | Hashtag or trend name. |
| `rank` | `integer` | Yes | Position of the trend in the source ranking. |
| `region` | `string` | Yes | Region, state, or province name. |
| `metrics` | `object` | Yes | Counters and measurements available for the result item. |
| `metrics.posts_count` | `integer` | Yes | Number of posts or posts associated with the trend. |
| `metrics.views_count` | `integer` | Yes | Number of views reported by the platform. |

The following example shows the response format for a completed task. Actual data depends on your query.
