Quick Examples

Search Posts & Reels

mcporter call xpoz.getInstagramPostsByKeywords \
  query="sustainable fashion" \
  startDate=2026-01-01 \
  limit=100

Xpoz indexes both captions and video subtitles — so you can find reels by what people say, not just what they type.

mcporter call xpoz.getInstagramUser \

  identifierType=username

mcporter call xpoz.searchInstagramUsers query="National Geographic" limit=20

mcporter call xpoz.getInstagramPostsByKeywords \
  query="(vegan OR plant-based) AND recipe NOT sponsored"

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.
