Limit call to recent media

Is there a limit call to recent media? The below call should be under Get method base on instagram limit?

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

  • For an api call to get recent media by tag, the rate limit is 5,000 / hour per application for unauthenticated calls. For authenticated calls, the rate limit is 5,000 / hour per token.

    The other rate limits you were seeing on their page at https://instagram.com/developer/limits/ only have to do with posting likes, comments and relationships. Those are much lower numbers per hour.
