Is there any way to get Instagram Hashtag Count?

Question

Looking for an easy way, either as a web service / website with an API, or directly through the Instagram API to count the number of Hashtag events. I know 2 websites that provided Instagram search results, but they do not have an API.

Answer 1

It looks like the endpoint / tags / tag-name will give you what you want:

Get information about the tag object.

Here is an example of them:

Request: https://api.instagram.com/v1/tags/nofilter?access_token=ACCESS-TOKEN

Answer:

{
    "data": {
        "media_count": 472,
        "name": "nofilter",
    }
}

[edit]
Just tested it with a pretty general tag ("cowboys"), and that was the answer:

{
    "meta": {
        "code": 200
    },
    "data": {
        "media_count": 1195735,
        "name": "cowboys"
    }
}

~ 1,2 .
