Backend in node.js. We leverage the fact that we get huge amounts of bot traffic, by saving all entries they fetch from Instagram to build our database of popular tags and users.
I'm pretty sure IG doesn't like any names that have Insta or Gram in them. (That's why Webstagram changed to Websta). Just a heads up before you develop your brand and then get kicked off their API.
If you offer an application, website or product that is compatible with or related to the Instagram service, such as an app or website that uses the Instagram APIs, you may fairly and accurately describe how your application, website or product relates to Instagram. But you may not use the Instagram trademarks in your own brand, or suggest that Instagram sponsors or endorses you or your products.
Don’t:
Use “Instagram,” “IG”, “Insta” or “Gram” in your app or product name or domain name
Use the Camera Logos, or the Instagram name or logo, in your brand identity, such as your app icon, logo or product design
Use the Instagram stylized font in your logo or product or marketing materials
I like this. I'm a big IGer and so is my wife. I was at the Giants game for Star Wars day with my kids Sunday so looking through all the #attpark / #sfgiants hashtags is fun.
However, here's one thing that annoys me with this and all "endless scrolling" web apps: when when I scroll down several pages, then click an image to see it bigger, when I go back I'm no longer at my "page".
