• access_token: the access token of your instagram client authorized by your Instagram user:
  1. Create your your Instagram client (it's easy to register one).
  2. Add a redirect URL under the security options (use a URL that you control, e.g. your homepage or the URL you use for your PubwichFork installation) and allow implicit OAuth.
  3. Use the implicit OAuth workflow of Instagram: https://api.instagram.com/oauth/authorize/?client_id=YOUR-CLIENT-ID&redirect_uri=YOUR-REDIRECT-URI&scope=basic+public_content&response_type=token
  4. use the access token from YOUR-REDIRECT-URI#access_token=YOUR-ACCESS-TOKEN
