Instagram search: accounts, hashtags, places

crawl4ai.instagram.search.general

What Instagram's search box shows for a query, one row per hit: kind (user, hashtag, place), name (username, #tag or place name), title (full name, the hashtag's post count text, or the place's address), followers (Instagram's rounded count for a user), media_count (exact, for a hashtag), is_verified, url. `kind` is users, hashtags, places or all (all = Instagram's blended list: users for a word, hashtags for a #word). `session` is required: your `sessionid` and `csrftoken` cookies, copied with the Crawl4AI Session extension; used for this run only and never stored. One fetch, 1 unit. Columns: kind, name, title, followers, media_count, is_verified, url.
