Search Hashtag Data API

Scrape Instagram Search Hashtag data with one API call. Finds public Instagram posts for a hashtag via Google Search, then returns post details such as caption, like count, comment count, owner, and post time. Results depend on Google's index, so this is best-effort and not a complete native hashtag search. Pass `media_type=reels` to filter to reels only. Use `date_posted` for recent posts and forward the returned `cursor` to fetch the next page.

3 optional parameters
