## Fork Information

This fork includes the following:

- getMediaWithTag()

    - This method will find the first media with a specific tag.

- Fixes getMedias issue (Because instagram removed the /media page)

    - Now pulls from their timeline data via a graphql request, then grabs the data for each array item. (Increases load times, but not by much)

- Better exceptions

    - For better understand of what is actually happening when an error occurs, InstagramEncodedException is thrown. You can catch this exception and use `InstagramEncodedException->getDecodedMessage()` that will return the following:

```

[

    [error] => true,

    [error_code] => 404,

    [error_reason] => 'User does not exist'

]

```

## Getting a media item with specific hashtag:

```

use InstaScraper\Insta;

$Instagram = new Insta();

$post = $Instagram->getMediaWithTag('test', '#awesome');

var_dump($post); // Returns InstaScraper\Model\Media Object

```
