fields
Comma-separated list
A comma-separated list of Fields and Edges you want returned. If omitted, default fields will be returned.

Fields

You can use the fields query string parameter to request the following Fields on an IG Hashtag.
Field Name Description
id
The hashtag’s ID (included by default). IDs are static and global.
name
The hashtag’s name, without the leading hash symbol.

Edges

You can request the following edges as path parameters or by using the fields query string parameter.
The media_url field is omitted for video media that contains copyrighted or licensed audio, including audio added from the Instagram audio library, or that has been flagged for a copyright violation. This applies to all video media, including media the app user owns. It is also omitted for reels whose owner has turned off reel downloads, on requests that read another user’s media: business discovery, tags, mentions, hashtag search, and collaborative media. That condition is evaluated against the reel’s owner, so it can apply to a reel the app user co-authored. All other fields are returned as normal. See IG Media for details.
Edge Description
recent_media
Get a list of the most recently published photo and video IG Media objects published with a specific hashtag.
top_media
Returns the most popular photo and video IG Media objects that have been tagged with the hashtag.
