[NOTE: As of December 11, 2018, the original Instagram API is being retired, and replaced with a Facebook graph based API. Due to this, the original version of Panoramiq will stop getting new results for hashtag and location searches after that date. The latest version of Panoramiq will use the new API, however, it will be limited to hashtag searches only, as the new API does not have the ability to make location based searches.
The new version of Panoramiq will also require that you are using a Business Instagram account. It will not work with basic/personal Instagram accounts. If you do not convert to a business account, you can continue to use the old version of Panoramiq, but it will only return results for analytics. ]
