I am a graduate student studying
I am a graduate student studying observation frequencies of global shark populations. To collect observations from massive media-sharing social networks such as Instagram, I have been using the Apify platform to data-mine images and post metadata based on relevant hashtags (ex. #tigershark). However, I have noticed that the Apify API does not allow me to collect all of the posts that are relevant to a given hashtag, and I was wondering if someone could provide an explanation to this, and possibly a solution. I was also wondering if Apify could scrape the geolocation of instagram posts when this information is provided? THANKS!

Hello @Jeremy may you send me (you can send it to the PM) a runId of such a run, so we may investigate? I just tried to do a one run for #tigershark hashtag and it worked well for me.
