Fetch photos from Instagram - ios

Question

Currently I'm able to fetch the photos of the logged in user in my app. But I want to fetch the photos from my instagram developer account in which I have registered my app. Is this possible? Currently,
NSString *urlString=[NSString stringWithFormat:#"https://api.instagram.com/v1/users/self/feed/?access_token=%#",appDelegate.instagram.accessToken];
fetches the detail of the logged in user. But I want to get the photos from my client's instagram account. Replacing 'self' in the above url with client's username doesn't work. Any ideas ?

Answer 1

Can't you use the /users/user-id/media/recent Endpoint?
Example from Instagram API Documentation, to get Feed for UserID = 3, use following
https://api.instagram.com/v1/users/3/media/recent/?access_token=ACCESS-TOKEN
Returns
