# Instagram Hashtag Top Posts

Instagram's own top-ranked posts for a hashtag, read from its live hashtag feed rather than a web search index, with view, like, and comment counts. Reels-heavy and engagement-ranked, so it answers what is performing on a tag right now. For older relevance-ranked results with date and media-type filters use instagram.search_hashtag; for the chronological feed use instagram.hashtag_recent_posts.
