Get all images from my Instagram account with a specific tag, not only the recent ones

I use this request / end point on my website to get all images from my Instagram account with a specific tag (I made sure I'm the only one to use this tag on Instagram) :

https://api.instagram.com/v1/tags/[TAG]/media/recent?access_token=[ACCESS_TOKEN]&count=50

Until recently it worked fine. To get all the images, I used the parameter count=50 (more than the number of tagged images with that tag). But since recently, I only get the 4 most recent images (less than 4 months old), and not the others, which are more than 5 months old.

Is it because of the choosen endpoint "recent" ("get a list of recently tagged media")? What is the age limit? Is there another endpoint adapted for my request?

Also, is there a better method to make sure it get all the images with a specific tag from my Instagram account, and not from other accounts, in case another one uses the same tag?

Thanks!

Not sure if you are aware of latest Instagram changes but now SandBox mode only allow access to last 20 items.

Hence your list will contain only items belong to the latest 20.
