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.

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.
