Instagram feeds using tag name of particular user

I am trying to fetch the instagram feeds to my site using tag name. https://api.instagram.com/v1/tags/{tag-name}?access_token=ACCESS-TOKEN above is the api which I am using to get the feeds.

Now the feeds are displaying from all the users who use the tag. I need to restrict the feeds for the particular user who use the tag name.

Anyone come across this?

Thanks,

The current version of the Instagram Api does not have an endpoint that will allow you to get media by tag-name AND user-id. Your best bet is to use 1 of the following endpoints, and then loop through the results and filter out the media that matches the 2nd condition.

  1. Search for posts by given hashtag's name using GET /tags/{tag-name}/media/recent API endpoint request and then filter the response list of media to match the user-id for the particular user in question. or
  2. Search for posts by the particular user using GET /users/{user-id}/media/recent API endpoint request and then manually check every post if its tags array contains the specific hashtag you are looking for.

I recommend you go with option 2 as that will be faster, since an individual user feed is a much smaller data set than media from 1000s of Instagram users tagged with a hashtag.
