Instagram: Get photos by user and tag

Question

Perusing the Instagram API I see it's pretty straightforward to search for photos by tag OR by username. However, I can't seem to find anything on searching by both. Is it possible to query the API and get only results of a specific tag from a specific user?

Answer 1

Your best bet is to do a lookup on a user and then sift through the results and get each picture with a certain tag

Answer 2

There is an opportunity how to do it:

https://api.instagram.com/v1/tags/SEARCH_TAG/media/recent?client_id=CLIENT_ID&callback=MY_CALLBACK

SEARCH_TAG - input

CLIENT_ID - its your ID after registration

MY_CALLBACK - your callback function.

You will receive your response in Form of JSONP.

After it you can search your response with the parameters your want.
