I’m looking to simply input a series of hashtags and be outputted with those hashtags and their associated post count.
I believe I can use the mediacount property: “The count of all media associated with this hashtag.” As found here: https://instaloader.github.io/module/structures.html?highlight=hashtag#instaloader.Hashtag
But am insure how to write the code for it.
I have tried:
from instaloader import Hashtag Inst = Instaloader() h = Hashtag(Inst.InstaloaderContext,"coding") print(h.mediacount)
This left me with this error:
Traceback (most recent call last): File "/xxx/Hashtag.py", line 7, in <module> h = Hashtag(instaloader.InstaloaderContext,"coding") File "/xxx/instaloader/structures.py", line 1453, in __init__ assert "name" in node AssertionError

Answer
which version of instaloader APIs are you using?
I use v4.9 and the following codes can work for me
from instaloader import Hashtag import instaloader Inst = instaloader.Instaloader() h = Hashtag.from_name(Inst.context,"coding") print(h.mediacount) output: 4855699
