Hi, I'm not sure why I am getting errors every time here. recreate my secret, follow the guide here: (https://www.slickremix.com/docs/how-to-create-instagram-access-token/) to get a access_token, and then call like this:


function searchInstagram() {


    var ig = require('instagram-node').instagram();


    ig.use({ access_token: 'XXXXXX.XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX' });
    ig.use({ client_id: 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX',
        client_secret: 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX' });

    /* OPTIONS: { [min_tag_id], [max_tag_id] }; */
    ig.tag_media_recent('tag', [], function(err, medias, pagination, remaining, limit) {
        console.log('err', err);
        console.log('medias', medias);
        console.log('pagination', pagination);
        console.log('remaining', remaining);
        console.log('limit', limit);
    });
}

searchInstagram();

But sadly when I call with node insta-service.js I always am getting this error:

node instagram-service.js 
derp
err { Error: OAuthAccessTokenException: The access_token provided is invalid.
