Rails + Instagram gem: Is there any way to get a specific count of photos?

Question

I am trying to get 100 newest photos, like

client.tag_recent_media("cat", count: 100)

but it always return around 40 photos (sometimes 36, sometimes 38 and sometimes 40). I am working with this gem.

Is there any wat to fetch 100 photos or 40 is the limit?

Thanks

This will do the job:

def search_method

  result = []
  next_id=nil
  while result.length < 100
    data = client.tag_recent_media("cat", max_id: next_id) if a.length == 0
    next_id = data.pagination.next_max_id
    result.concat(data)
  end

end

Where do you define `a` here? – Trip Feb 28 '15 at 03:40
hmm, okay, actually I don't remember now... maybe forget about that if? – Yaro Mar 03 '15 at 12:52

You should try something like this

  client.tag_recent_media(1907035, {count: 60})

Unfortunately I think 60 is the maximum amount of photos.

Can you confirm if that was helpful? – mart1nn Mar 15 '13 at 13:35
This works for me, since know I have more than 20 results by default: 33, anyway, for my test, everytime 33 is the max count, for #love for example. – Iván Cortés May 02 '16 at 21:38
