Hi,

Looking at the API documentation, you should be able to specify a count variable:

http://instagram.com/developer/endpoints/users/

eg https://api.instagram.com/v1/users/3/media/recent/?access_token=ACCESS-TOKEN&COUNT=200

Untested, but in theory should work.

thanks but its not work , is there a way of get more photo to download rather than the min 20,

here is the code 

NSString *urlString = [[NSString alloc] initWithFormat:@"https://api.instagram.com/v1/tags/2014/recent/?access_token=ACCESS-TOKEN&COUNT=200=%@", self.accessToken];

NSURL *url = [[NSURL alloc] initWithString:urlString];
NSURLRequest *request = [[NSURLRequest alloc] initWithURL:url];
NSURLSessionDownloadTask *task = [session downloadTaskWithRequest:request completionHandler:^(NSURL *location, NSURLResponse *response, NSError *error) {

    NSData *data = [[NSData alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:location];
    NSDictionary *responseDictionary = [NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:data options:kNilOptions error:nil];

    self.photos = [responseDictionary valueForKeyPath:@"data"];

    dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
        [self.collectionView reloadData];
        self.loading = NO;
    });
}];
[task resume];

}

Hi Xlang,

Try changing:

NSString *urlString = [[NSString alloc] initWithFormat:@"https://api.instagram.com/v1/tags/2014/recent/?access_token=ACCESS-TOKEN&COUNT=200=%@", self.accessToken];

to

NSString *urlString = [[NSString alloc] initWithFormat:@"https://api.instagram.com/v1/tags/2014/recent/?access_token=%@&COUNT=200", self.accessToken];
