Instagram find Hashtag by Name API

I'm building an Instagram hashtags finder app and I'm looking for a way to get Instagram hashtags by name along with other similar hashtag suggestions and their post counts.

I read about the Instagram API endpoint: https://api.instagram.com/v1/tags/search?q=snowy&access_token=XXXX

but this old Instagram API platform is deprecated and cannot see a similar endpoint on the new Graph API.

Also, if there is any way to do this without having the user to login to Instagram that would be preferred.

Thanks in advance.

Hashtag id search endpoint in v1 API is deprecated [1] and it has moved to Facebook's Graph API [2]. As long as you have an Instagram user id and an access token for that user you can use Facebook Graph Explorer [3] to query that endpoint.
