==================

[](#image-hashtag-feed)

WordPress plugin to get Instagram hashtag feeds working again by bypassing the API. Handcrafted with love at [Digitoimisto Dude Oy](http://dude.fi), a Finnish boutique digital agency in the center of Jyväskylä.

The Instagram fetcher is based on [Instagram-Hashtag-Grabber](https://github.com/Bolandish/Instagram-Hashtag-Grabber) from [Thomas Bolander](https://github.com/Bolandish) and settings page is made with excellent [Simple Admin Pages](https://github.com/NateWr/simple-admin-pages) library made by [Nate Wright](https://github.com/NateWr).

#### Legal

[](#legal)

Please be aware that Instagram prohibits crawling, scraping and caching in their [TOC](https://help.instagram.com/478745558852511). This plugin uses same endpoint that Instagram is using in their own site, so it's arguable if TOC can prohibit the use of openly available information.

There has been few [court cases in United States](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_scraping#Legal_issues), where the court has ruled that scraping is illegal. In Europe, there have been also few similar cases. None of these cases have had Instagram involved.

**This being said, use your own consideration whether you wan't to use this plugin.**
