searchInstagram() failure #31

Closed jamgreen closed 8 years ago

jamgreen commented 8 years ago

I am attempting a test of the searchInstagram function after getting authentication from instagram

rctid <- searchInstagram(tag = "rctid", token = my_oauth, n = 100)

This is a tag for the Portland Timbers MLS team and I searched on their opening game day. I'm returning the following error:

Error in searchInstagram(tag = "rctid", token = my_oauth, n = 100) : 0 posts found.

Interestingly other functions did work like the getTagCount function returned 73693 testtag <- getTagCount(tag="rctid", token = my_oauth)

What am I doing wrong here?

Instagram has changed their policies -- need to apply for permission to get access to their API beyond your own account :(
