Frequently asked questions
Before you run it
Should I include the # symbol?
No. Enter only the term, such as openai.
Can I search multiple hashtags?
Yes. The input accepts a list and applies the same mode and limit to each term.
Which feed should I use for monitoring?
recent is the natural starting point for time-based monitoring; top highlights prominent posts and clips focuses on video.
Are 10,000 results guaranteed?
No. That is the input maximum. Public availability, relevance and provider limits can reduce output.
Do I need cookies?
No. The Actor is designed for public content without your Instagram session.
