ig_search_tags: Search by Hashtag

Description

This function accepts a hashtag, without the "#" symbol and returns the similar hashtags. You can then use ig_get_hashtag_feed to return all posts associated with that hashtag.

Usage

ig_search_tags(hashtag, max_id = NULL, return_df = TRUE,
  paginate = TRUE, max_pages = 10, verbose = FALSE)

Arguments

hashtag

character; do not include the hashtag (pound sign) at the beginning of the string

max_id

integer; the unique id identifying the oldest post that you would want to retrieve in this function call

return_df

logical; do you want to return the results as a tbl_df with one row per entity or as a list with one element per entity?

paginate

logical; do you want to paginate through results or just return the first page?

max_pages

integer; a limit to the number of pages to retrieve from paginated endpoints. Instagram feeds have the potential to paginate forever, so by default we stop after pulling 10 pages. If you would like more or less pages returned, then modify this argument.

verbose

logical; do you want informative messages?

Examples

Run this code
# NOT RUN {
# search for posts using the #belieber hashtag
belieber_posts <- ig_search_tags("belieber")
# }
