What You Can Search

Tool	What It Does
`getInstagramPostsByKeywords`	Search posts & reels by keywords
`getInstagramUsersByKeywords`	Find users posting about a topic
`getInstagramUser`	Look up a specific profile
`searchInstagramUsers`	Find accounts by display name
`getInstagramPostsByAuthor`	Get a user's post history

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.

Find Influencers by Topic

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.
