Get mentions, hashtags, likers, likes_plays using the hashtag mode?

When searching for hashtag, only 3 fields show up regardless of additional options: key, caption and img_url. Is there a way to get more information, such as the ones available with posts_full?

Same issue to me.

@RichieLee93 I found a better tool, it's called Instaloader and it does a good job at searching hashtags.

Thank you so much!

Same issue for me too! I've used --fetch_hashtags option but the output shows up key, caption and url only.

For anyone who is interested in searching instagram with hashtag, I've written sample Python code for it using Instaloader below.

import instaloader
L = instaloader.Instaloader(download_pictures=False,
                           download_video_thumbnails=False,
                            download_videos=False,
                            download_geotags=True,
                            download_comments=False,
                            save_metadata=False)

def get_it(nameOfExercise):
    numbers_of_loop = 1000
    while numbers_of_loop > 0:
        for post in L.get_hashtag_posts(nameOfExercise):
            # post is an instance of instaloader.Post
            L.download_post(post, target='#'+nameOfExercise)
            numbers_of_loop-=1
            # print(numbers_of_loop)
            if numbers_of_loop ==0:
                break
        print("loop ended for " + nameOfExercise)

kinds_of_exercise = ["pilates","PT","yoga"]

print(len(kinds_of_exercise))

for item in kinds_of_exercise:
    get_it(item)

Of course, don't forget to check document for Instaloader too!

@snoop2head can you show us how to use your code?
