Instagram: Get photos by user and tag

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?

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.

Wrote the code for you in php:

$api = file_get_contents("https://api.instagram.com/v1/tags/YOURTAG/media/recent?access_token=YOURACCESSTOKEN");
$json = json_decode($api,true);
foreach($json['data'] as $data){
  if($data['user']['username']=="YOURSPECIFICUSERNAME"){
     //action
  }
}

Enjoy : )

You could make a list of images with a certain tag and then a list of images with a certain username. You could then compare the two lists. I'd recommend python with Beautiful Soup.

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
