Instagram oAuthException missing url

I am unable to make any /media/search calls to the Instagram api without getting errors.

In firefox, the endpoint 

https://api.instagram.com/v1/media/search?lat=48.858844&lng=2.294351&?access_token=VALID_ACCESS_TOKEN

(Where VALID_ACCESS_TOKEN, is a valid access token that works successfully with other api calls.)

I get the following output

{"meta":{"error_type":"OAuthParameterException","code":400,"error_message":"\"client_id\" or \"access_token\" URL parameter missing. This OAuth request requires either a \"client_id\" or \"access_token\" URL parameter."}}

I can't make sense of this error, since clearly, the access token is present in the url.

Could it be some weird character encoding issue?

Just a quick look at your URL and it looks like you have an extra ? in there before the access_token parameter.

https://api.instagram.com/v1/media/search?lat=48.858844&lng=2.294351&access_token=VALID_ACCESS_TOKEN

The first ? tells it to accept parameters, and then each param is separated by &. You shouldn't need any more ?'s and they may actually cause it to parse incorrectly.
