How to Use the Instagram Hashtag Scraper (Step by Step)
Hashtags are how Instagram organizes intent. People posting under #realestateagent or #vegancafe are telling you exactly who they are, and the free Instagram Hashtag Scraper turns those tagged posts into a list of the accounts behind them, complete with public contact details.
This guide covers the entire workflow, from installing the free Chrome extension to searching a hashtag, extracting the accounts, reviewing their contacts, and launching outreach. Finding and extracting leads with LeadStal is free, and AI-personalized sending starts at $9.99 per month.
Step by step
Install the free Instagram Hashtag Scraper extension
Add the free Instagram Hashtag Scraper to Chrome from the install page and pin it to your toolbar. It activates when you open an Instagram hashtag page and stays quiet otherwise.
Open Instagram and choose your hashtag
Log into Instagram and pick the hashtag that matches your audience, such as a niche, industry, or local interest tag. The more specific the hashtag, the more relevant the accounts you will collect.
Open the hashtag results page
Search the hashtag and open its dedicated page so the recent and top posts load. Scroll a little to let more tagged posts appear, giving the extension a deeper pool of accounts to read.
Click the extension to extract accounts
Open the Instagram Hashtag Scraper on the hashtag page and run it. It collects the accounts behind the tagged posts and captures public fields such as usernames, bios, links, and any email or phone in their contact info.
Review the extracted emails and phones
Scan the captured accounts for public emails, phones, and websites. Remove off-topic posters and spam so your list keeps only the accounts genuinely active in that hashtag's niche.
Export to CSV or push to LeadStal
Download the cleaned accounts as a CSV, or send them directly into LeadStal so the hashtag audience is ready for outreach without a separate import.
Launch AI-personalized outreach
In LeadStal, write your pitch and let the AI tailor it to the hashtag's theme and each account's bio before sending. Extraction is free, and sending starts at $9.99 per month.
Pro tips
- Pick narrow, intent-rich hashtags over broad ones so the accounts you pull are tightly aligned with your offer.
- Combine related hashtags in separate runs to widen your reach while keeping each list themed and trackable.
- Lean on recent posts to find active accounts rather than people who tagged the hashtag long ago.
- Reference the shared hashtag interest in your opener so each message feels relevant from the first line.
