## Run this action

Use the TypeScript SDK for one call. Use `ctx.tools.execute(...)` inside a Play for durable calls, scheduled calls, or CSV processing.

```ts theme={"languages":{"custom":["/languages/deepline-prompt.json"]}}
import { Deepline } from 'deepline';

const deepline = await Deepline.connect();
const result = await deepline.tools.execute(
  'scrapecreators_instagram_search_popular',
  {
    "query": "software companies hiring engineers"
  },
);

console.log(result.toolResponse.raw);
```

### CLI

```bash theme={"languages":{"custom":["/languages/deepline-prompt.json"]}}
deepline tools execute scrapecreators_instagram_search_popular --input '{
  "query": "software companies hiring engineers"
}' --json
```

## Example response

The static output schema lacks the details for a reliable example. Use `deepline describe scrapecreators_instagram_search_popular --json` for the complete live contract.

## Input reference

Use this to explore an Instagram topic and the posts Instagram curates for it. It scrapes the public /popular/\{query} page without requiring an Instagram login. The first page returns the topic title, numeric total media count, Instagram's generated description and sources, suggested terms, posts, and an opaque cursor. Pass that cursor with the same query to fetch more posts. Later pages return query, posts, cursor, and has\_more only. For an exact hashtag through Google-indexed results, use /v1/instagram/search/hashtag. For reels only, use /v2/instagram/reels/search.

| Name | Type | Required | Default | Details |
| - | - | - | - | - |
| `payload.query` | `string` | Yes | — | The Popular topic to search for. |
| `payload.cursor` | `string` | No | — | The opaque cursor returned by the previous response. Use it with the same query to fetch the next page of posts. |
