query="sustainable fashion" \
startDate=2026-01-01 \

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 \

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.
