What This Skill Does
Searches over 400 million Instagram posts, reels, and profiles by keyword, hashtag, or display name. Returns results with captions, video subtitles, and engagement data, and exports up to 64K rows to CSV.
Replaces the Instagram Graph API's lack of keyword search and eliminates the need for a Meta developer account or app review.
When to Use It
- Find influencers posting about a specific topic like 'fitness transformation'
- Track hashtag performance and content trends over a date range
- Search reels by spoken words in video subtitles
- Look up a user's post history and engagement metrics
- Export search results to CSV for offline analysis
- Run boolean queries to filter posts (e.g., 'vegan OR plant-based AND recipe NOT sponsored')

Quick Examples
Search Posts & Reels
mcporter call xpoz.getInstagramPostsByKeywords \
query="sustainable fashion" \
startDate=2026-01-01 \
limit=100
# Poll for results:
mcporter call xpoz.checkOperationStatus operationId=op_abc123
Xpoz indexes both captions and video subtitles — so you can find reels by what people say, not just what they type.

mcporter call xpoz.getInstagramUsersByKeywords \
query="fitness transformation OR workout routine" \
limit=200
Look Up a Profile
mcporter call xpoz.getInstagramUser \
identifier=natgeo \
identifierType=username
Search by Display Name
mcporter call xpoz.searchInstagramUsers query="National Geographic" limit=20
Boolean Queries
mcporter call xpoz.getInstagramPostsByKeywords \
query="(vegan OR plant-based) AND recipe NOT sponsored"
CSV Export
Every search generates a full export. Poll the dataDumpExportOperationId for a CSV download URL (up to 64K rows).
Why Not Use the Instagram API Directly?
| Instagram Graph API | Xpoz Instagram Search | |
|---|---|---|
| Setup | Meta developer account + app review | One-click Xpoz auth |
| Keyword search | ❌ Not available | ✅ Full-text + subtitles |
| Find influencers | Only if you know their username | Search by topic/content |
| Reels content | Metadata only | Captions + spoken words |
| Export | Manual pagination | One-click CSV |
| Cost | Free but painful setup | Free tier available |
The Instagram Graph API doesn't support keyword search at all. Xpoz fills that gap.
