Add support for retrieving content from hashtags.

[rodrigograca31]

Hi!

Recently (this month) Instagram stopped allowing us to get images from multiple users per hashtag....

This: https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/nofilter/

As you can see, that is a public listing of all images with the hashtag "nofilter", but now it's impossible to do it through the API....

Would it be possible to modify this script to support hastags?

P.S. there are many people searching for a solution right now for the problem described.... I think that this could be a good solution.

Thanks!

seems like the best way into these might be POST https://www.instagram.com/query/

sample of decoded payload on tags page:

q=ig_hashtag(nofilters) { media.after(J0HV5u6nwAAAF0HV5u5GwAAAFkgA, 9) {
  count,
  nodes {
    caption,
    code,
    comments {
      count
    },
    date,
    dimensions {
      height,
      width
    },
    display_src,
    id,
    is_video,
    likes {
      count
    },
    owner {
      id
    },
    thumbnail_src,
    video_views
  },
  page_info
}
 }

ref=tags::show

@electblake do you know how J0HV5u6nwAAAF0HV5u5GwAAAFkgA this kind of info generating?

@raiym it sounds like a pagination token, similar to what facebook does. But that's just a guess sorry
