Please help. It's a really great plugin!

Sorry @boweic, since Instagram has updated the terms of service for their API, the plugin will no longer work as expected 😞

My submission for approval was rejected with this message:

Why not just use this instead:
https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/%@ — where %@ is replaced with the search term?
example: https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/supercars

@davidvb that is a page hosted by Instagram itself. The same data is not available through their API without the appropriate permissions. Scraping the HTML page is possible but not worth exploring since it goes against Instagram's terms of use.
