As you know, Instagram deprecated its legacy hashtag search API in favor of the Facebook Graph API, more respectful of data privacy.

This article will cover:

This feature allows you to identify captions, comments, and media in which your business account alias has been tagged or @mentioned.

Since Jan. 25th, you can display in Radarly Instagram mentions of post captions, comments and media!

1. Plug your Instagram business account in the project settings. Just plugged in the project settings is ok, it doesn’t need to be attached to a workspace.

2. As soon as your business accounts are plugged in your project and a search query is searching for the @username (attention, it is case sensitive) of your business account, we will collect all posts that mentioned your business account (posts not anonymized and coming from business and non-business profiles).

3. To display all the mentions of your business account in your project, use the operator of the mentions: @user_name in the filter bar. Please note that it is the same operator that this is also working for Twitter or Sina Weibo for instance.

The new hashtags search feature was released in Radarly on 4th of February. Data collecting was activated at that date and grew gradually to full power on Feb. 8th.
