Instagram Account Excluding hashtags API
Find Instagram profiles by excluding hashtags from 97.2M searchable profiles
Is there an API to exclude Instagram creators by hashtags?
Yes. The Influencers.club Discovery API filters Instagram creator profiles by the hashtags you don’t want — excluding creators who use them. List the terms to exclude — like “ad” — and only creators without them come back: full profiles with follower counts, engagement rates and verified contact data.

Excluding hashtags is rarely the only filter
Three combinations that people actually send. Every filter below exists today.
Creators without the pay-to-play tags
Exclude the hashtags that mark saturated accounts.
filters: {
"not_hashtags": ["ad"],
"engagement_percent": { "min": 2 } }
Cleaner lists you can still contact
Fewer #ad accounts, same reachability.
filters: {
"not_hashtags": ["sponsored"],
"has_link_in_bio": true }
Mid-tier creators minus the tag spam
Precision exclusions where outreach actually happens.
filters: {
"not_hashtags": ["sponsored"],
"number_of_followers": { "min": 10000, "max": 100000 } }
