Find creators posting under a hashtag

Trend researchers and campaign teams who want the creators a hashtag already belongs to.

Short answer

Run a hashtag crawl for the tags you care about, with a date window and a maximum number of posts. Zaver crawls the top and recent feeds on Instagram and YouTube, de-duplicates against earlier runs and returns a CSV of posts with author, caption, views, likes, comments and posted date. Group the rows by author and you have the creators who rank for that hashtag, with their numbers.

You need

  • 1–5 hashtags
  • A date window

Step by step in Zaver

  1. 1

    Size the hashtags first

    Tools → Hashtag insights shows post count, a size band from micro to saturated, format mix, average likes and the creators who rank, so you crawl the right tags.

  2. 2

    Run the crawl

    Tools → Hashtag crawl. Enter hashtags, platforms, date window and max posts. Run now, or schedule daily so re-runs fetch only what is new.

  3. 3

    Group by author

    Open the CSV, sort or pivot by author. Authors with several high-view posts in your window are the creators to look at.

  4. 4

    Vet before contact

    Run insight reports on the top authors for audience, authenticity and a fair price.
