Get images with tag using FB's new Graph API for instagram

Recently, Instagram/Facebook stopped approving apps using their old Instagram API in favor of Facebook's graph api.

I'm struggling to figure out how to migrate of some of the functionality I'm wanting in my app.

With instagram, to get recent images with a given tag, you simply made a request to this URL:

https://api.instagram.com/v1/tags/{tag-name}/media/recent?access_token=ACCESS-TOKEN

Does the Facebook graph api for instagram have that? I couldn't find it in their documentation.

The new graph API does not support all the APIs that the old Instagram API supported. You cannot get images by hashtag and location and any user's posts, like you could with old APIs.

With new graph API you can only access your photos and your insights and comments. No hashtag posts, other user posts, location posts or follower lists.
