Is this module still working? Because after clonning and providing access_token according to manual is still stucked on Loading… warning.

Output from starting MagicMirror:

Connecting socket for: MMM-Instagram
Starting node_helper for module [MMM-Instagram]

OK, some debug… I finally used multi account fork from O5ten and used his API key from README 1160247792.b119586.49fa97770ee34deb92e621069c760cee then it started to show pictures, so finall problem is on my access_token. Good to know for debuging, should help someone else…

How to test that access token is OK?
Put to web browser:
https://api.instagram.com/v1/users/self/media/recent?access_token=1160247792.b119586.49fa97770ee34deb92e621069c760cee
did you see some data as result?

"data": [{"id": "1698285770916717663...

So now test your key
https://api.instagram.com/v1/users/self/media/recent?access_token=[TOKEN_HERE]
If there is result, everything is OK, if you get

data	[]

then is time to investigate! Do you have content on your wall? Because your’s last 20 posts are only accessible in sandbox https://www.instagram.com/developer/sandbox/ (!!!)
For rest and another use cases read carefully https://www.instagram.com/developer/ guide.

My problem was empty my wall… Sorry for spam, but maybe it helps someone not familiar with that with debuging.

This works great, but is it possible to make it actually reload the pictures from instagram without reloading MM?

Hi all, had the same problem, Instagram was acquired by Facebook who have updated the way the API works.
I spent a couple of days writing and testing a new module for Instagram that was based off the original.

It requires a Facebook developer account and app, but I have explained it as best i can in readme
