Real responses are complete. ## One schema on 6 platforms. The [response reference](https://socialtap.dev/docs/reference/x/search_hashtags/index.md#response) lists every field, its type and when it is `null`. [See the full schema](https://socialtap.dev/resources/web_result/index.md). - ### Null means unknown A field X doesn't show is null, never zero or an empty string, so a real zero always means zero. - ### What it accepts Words to find X hashtags by, as a web search reads them: a topic, a niche, a name (cooking, bitcoin, "machine learning", 料理). - ### Write one parser X, TikTok, Instagram and 3 more platforms answer in these fields, so the code that reads one reads them all. - **`platform`string**: Platform the item is on. - **`type`string**: The kind of item the result names, as the resource that describes it: profile (an account), post, hashtag, sound, place or community. The item's summary is the field of that name, and a filled result's record is details.\. A search that finds several kinds (a platform's top search) mixes them in one list. New values may be added as more kinds are searchable; treat unknown values as other. - **`position`integer**: Zero-based rank of the result in the list, across pages: the search engine's order, counting only the results kept. - **`url`string**: The item's canonical link on the platform (the account's page for a profile, the post's for a post). - **`matched_url`string**: The page the index listed: the item's own page, or one of its pages that names it (a video of an account, for a profile found through it). - **`title`string**: The page's title as the index shows it: often the item's name, but not the item's own field. Null when the index shows none. - **`snippet`string**: The index's excerpt of the page: often the item's description and counts as the page stated them when it was indexed, days or weeks ago. Null when the index shows none. - **`profile`object**: The account the result names (type profile): what its link and the index's text say of it, completed from details when the result is filled. Null for every other type. Live data from 33 platforms.

More in the [API reference](https://socialtap.dev/docs/reference/x/search_hashtags/index.md). **Does it return how many posts use a hashtag?** No. X shows no count, description or picture for a hashtag logged out, so those fields are null and each result has the tag's name and link. **How much does the X (Twitter) Hashtag Search API cost?** A page of up to 50 hashtags costs 1 credit. Every successful page is charged, empty pages included. SocialTap credits cost $0.75–$1.97 per 1,000, depending on the plan or pack. **How do I get the next page?** Repeat the same request with cursor set to page.next_cursor from the previous response, keeping the other parameters. When page.has_more is false there are no more pages. Cursors expire after 24 hours.
