Last updated: 2016/Sep/08
step to fetch data from instagram api
1. Register account in instagram
2. Go to API section (since the footer is not fixed at the bottom, one must go to Edit Profile and go to API link at the bottom.
3. Manage Clients > Register a New Client
4. Go to Security Tab inside the New Client
5. add URIs for redirect, only allowed URIs can fetch the access token (URIs can include .html)
6. use this url to get access token:
https://www.instagram.com/oauth/authorize/?client_id=CLIENT_ID&redirect_uri=ALLOWED_URIs&response_type=token&scope=public_content
7. fetch media with tags example:
https://api.instagram.com/v1/tags/DPARK/media/recent?access_token=TOKEN&count=100
* in Sandbox mode, only a maximum of 16 medias will be fetched each time from the JSON response
