Just curious if there's a reason you didn't use the official Instagram ruby-gem in this project @ https://github.com/Instagram/instagram-ruby-gem

I didn't know about it, and OAuth 2 is just a few HTTP requests.

Ok, but have you noticed that the search is very unstable? Thought that using a blessed wrapper may fix those issues. (having to retry the search 3x times to get results back).

Looks like an issue in the underlying API. My app isn't doing anything special..

Also, it looks like the instagram gem doesn't allow for time parameters in the media/search endpoint: https://github.com/Instagram/instagram-ruby-gem/blob/master/lib/instagram/client/media.rb#L57-L60
