API limits and fetching data from Instagram

This addon is designed for fetching recent/top media from Instagram only.
It's not designed for scrapping big amounts of archived data from your profile and/or hashtag.
For perpetual fetching of current data, you have to use CRON links (or do it semi-regularly using dashboard UI).

In Dashbaord UI:

• You can fetch max. 40 recent multimedia at once.
• There will be 5 minute break before you can fetch another 40 again. 

Using CRON links:

• You have to wait 15 days before extending access token (those last around 2 months).
• Minimum interval between API calls is 1 hour (you'll get 10-20 Media at once during that call). So there is no point to set CRON task more often than every 1 hour.

Importing Media to File Manager is practically unlimited, since it depends only on your server capabilities.

API limits

Using dashboard UI, you can fetch media once per 5 minutes.

Using CRON URL, you can fetch media once per 1 hour.

API limits are shared between every account connected to Facebook App. So limits were implemented to prevent one account to use all available limit.
