Instagram: Imports on a clean site only get 20 posts #10

Running the first import on a new site seems to only get the 20 most recent Instagram pics, and then never loops back in time.

So there seem to be 2 things going on here.

  1. Instagram have deprecated the (max|min)_timestamp parameters, in favor of (max|min)_id parameters (fixed in 7c70de423d792ca1033c40a045500bc86f7ecb13)
  2. They've also introduced a draconian new permissions review process, whereby you can't get past the first 20 media items for a user without getting explicit approval.

Because of number 2, there's actually not much I can do here. You'll need to get explicit approval for the app that you create, and then theoretically you'll be able to download all media.
