Instagram Hashtag Scraper

An Apify actor that collects recent posts from one Instagram hashtag. It honours the result limit exactly, stops at the date you give it, and charges only for posts actually written to your dataset — never for empty runs, duplicates, or rows past your limit.

• A real date filter: stop at a date, or scrape one window
• The result limit is exact — never one row more, whatever a page holds
• Charged per delivered post only: empty runs and duplicates are free
• Deduplicated across the whole run, not just within a page
• Every field present or explicitly null — an absent count is null, not zero
• Every run says why it stopped, so a refused session never looks like an empty hashtag
