Disclamer

Instagram has gone to great lengths to prevent scraping and other unauthorized access to their public content. This module is dependant on the markup the public-facing instagram.com. Should that change this module might also stop working as intended. It also only loads the 12 posts that are displayed on first-load without following pagination to load more images. You should take this into consideration when deciding whether this module will work for you. note: there are some limitation of loading instagram data, but it still usefull in most cases :)
