I have set a php code which can help in case you want to access Instagram images without api on basis of hashtag
If you only need to display the images base on a tag, then there is not to include the wrapper class "instagram.class.php". As the Media & Tag Endpoints in Instagram API do not require authentication. You can use the following curl based function to retrieve results based on your tag.
function callInstagram($url)
{
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt_array($ch, array(
CURLOPT_URL => $url,
CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER => false,
CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST => 2
));
$result = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
return $result;
}
$tag = 'YOUR_TAG_HERE';
$client_id = "YOUR_CLIENT_ID";
$url = 'https://api.instagram.com/v1/tags/'.$tag.'/media/recent?client_id='.$client_id;
$inst_stream = callInstagram($url);
$results = json_decode($inst_stream, true);
//Now parse through the $results array to display your results...
foreach($results['data'] as $item){
$image_link = $item['images']['low_resolution']['url'];
echo '<img src="'.$image_link.'" />';
}
To get more than 20 you can use a load more button.

// Initialize class for public requests
$instagram = new Instagram('ENTER CLIENT ID HERE');
// Receive AJAX request and create call object

$clientID = $instagram->getApiKey();
$call = new stdClass;
$call->pagination->next_max_id = $maxID;

$media = $instagram->getTagMedia($tag,$auth=false,array('max_tag_id'=>$maxID));
// Collect everything for json output
$images = array();
foreach ($media->data as $data) {
$images[] = $data->images->thumbnail->url;
}
echo json_encode(array(
'next_id' => $media->pagination->next_max_id,
'images' => $images
));
?>
instagram.class.php
Find the function getTagMedia() and replace with:
public function getTagMedia($name, $auth=false, $params=null) {
return $this->_makeCall('tags/' . $name . '/media/recent', $auth, $params);
}
Here's another example I wrote a while ago:
<?php
// Get class for Instagram
// More examples here: https://github.com/cosenary/Instagram-PHP-API
require_once 'instagram.class.php';
// Initialize class with client_id
// Register at http://instagram.com/developer/ and replace client_id with your own
$instagram = new Instagram('CLIENT_ID_HERE');
// Set keyword for #hashtag
$tag = 'KEYWORD HERE';
// Get latest photos according to #hashtag keyword
$media = $instagram->getTagMedia($tag);
// Set number of photos to show
$limit = 5;
// Set height and width for photos
$size = '100';
// Show results
// Using for loop will cause error if there are less photos than the limit
foreach(array_slice($media->data, 0, $limit) as $data)
{
// Show photo
echo '<p><img src="'.$data->images->thumbnail->url.'" height="'.$size.'" width="'.$size.'" alt="SOME TEXT HERE"></p>';
}
?>
Since Nov 17, 2015 you have to authenticate users to make any (even such as "get some pictures who have specific hashtag") requests. See the Instagram Platform Changelog:
Apps created on or after Nov 17, 2015: All API endpoints require a valid access_token. Apps created before Nov 17, 2015: Unaffected by new API behavior until June 1, 2016.
this makes now all answers given here before June 1, 2016 no longer useful.
