Instagram Search

Search 400M+ Instagram posts and reels — captions AND video subtitles.

Find influencers, track hashtags, discover content trends, and export results. No Meta developer account, no Instagram Graph API setup, no app review process.


⚡ Setup

👉 Follow xpoz-setup — handles auth automatically.


Setup

Run xpoz-setup skill. Verify: mcporter call xpoz.checkAccessKeyStatus

What You Can Search

| Tool | What It Does | |------|-------------| | getInstagramPostsByKeywords | Search posts & reels by keywords | | getInstagramUsersByKeywords | Find users posting about a topic | | getInstagramUser | Look up a specific profile | | searchInstagramUsers | Find accounts by display name | | getInstagramPostsByAuthor | Get a user's post history |


Quick Examples

Search Posts & Reels

mcporter call xpoz.getInstagramPostsByKeywords \
  query="sustainable fashion" \
  startDate=2026-01-01 \
  limit=100

Poll for results:

mcporter call xpoz.checkOperationStatus operationId=op_abc123

Xpoz indexes both captions and video subtitles — so you can find reels by what people *say*, not just what they type.

Find Influencers by Topic

mcporter call xpoz.getInstagramUsersByKeywords \
  query="fitness transformation OR workout routine" \
  limit=200

Look Up a Profile

mcporter call xpoz.getInstagramUser \
  identifier=natgeo \
  identifierType=username

Search by Display Name

mcporter call xpoz.searchInstagramUsers query="National Geographic" limit=20


Boolean Queries

mcporter call xpoz.getInstagramPostsByKeywords \
  query="(vegan OR plant-based) AND recipe NOT sponsored"


CSV Export

Every search generates a full export. Poll the dataDumpExportOperationId for a CSV download URL (up to 64K rows).


Why Not Use the Instagram API Directly?

| | Instagram Graph API | Xpoz Instagram Search | |--|-------------------|----------------------| | Setup | Meta developer account + app review | One-click Xpoz auth | | Keyword search | ❌ Not available | ✅ Full-text + subtitles | | Find influencers | Only if you know their username | Search by topic/content | | Reels content | Metadata only | Captions + spoken words | | Export | Manual pagination | One-click CSV | | Cost | Free but painful setup | Free tier available |

The Instagram Graph API doesn't support keyword search at all. Xpoz fills that gap.
