On June 1, Instagram, which is owned by Facebook, will stop allowing many third parties to access the images in its feeds.

This means you will no longer be able to fetch photos form other users with spectragram after May 31.

How to use

In order to use the plugin you need to register an application at Instagram Developers, get a client_id and recieve an access_token.

Simple usage

1. Be sure to have jQuery script included and then include the spectragram.js script right before the </body> tag.

 <script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
 <script type="text/javascript" src="js/spectragram.js"></script>

1. Set your Instagram accessToken, clientID and the query:

jQuery.fn.spectragram.accessData = {
    accessToken: 'your-instagram-access-token',
