## 📌 What can you scrape with Hashtag Scraper
Hashtag pages are fast-moving, and the data you need is often spread across cards, modals, and post detail pages. Thunderbit’s AI can extract the listing data and, when needed, enrich it with **Subpage Scraping** by visiting each post URL to pull deeper details.

Below are two common workflows you can run with the Hashtag Scraper.

### 📸 Scrape Instagram Trend Monitoring
Use this workflow to scrape an Instagram hashtag feed like [#travel](https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/travel/) and track what’s trending: which creators are posting, what captions are used, and how engagement changes over time. This is helpful for content planning, competitive research, and identifying emerging topics.

## 📈 Why Use Hashtag Scraper Tool

- **Performance marketers**: Monitor campaign hashtags, compare engagement across creatives, and identify top posts to replicate.
- **Influencer and creator teams**: Discover creators posting under a niche hashtag and build outreach lists (then use Thunderbit’s free **Email Extractor** and **Phone Number Extractor** when contact info is available on the web).
- **Ecommerce operators**: Watch UGC trends around product categories and collect examples for ad creative testing.
- **Agencies**: Standardize client reporting by exporting structured data to Google Sheets or Airtable.
