Instagram real-time API receives very few updates

I have been using instagram real time push api ( http://instagram.com/developer/realtime/ ) for a long time to get updates in a specific place. I use the maximum possible value for the "radius", which is 5000 m. Over the past 4 weeks, I noticed that I received significantly fewer updates through the API (but not zero). Other applications seem to have the same problem as http://now.jit.su/ . I also posted a bug report on instagram, which went unanswered.

My questions are: - has something changed in the API? - something has changed in the application (so that not every photo will be published)? - Does anyone else have this problem? “Is there anything I can try to make it work again?”

I know that this is not quite an ideal SO question, but I was not able to throw something on google, and the instagram developer pages are right here for support. Any help is appreciated.

An Instagram contact was recently reported, and he mentioned that Instagram's real-time functionality will only be limited to user subscriptions in the future.

Applications created before November 17, 2015 will continue to receive updates, but they are selected because of the load they are experiencing and the fact that the architecture used for this is not scalable. He also mentioned that as a result, real-time subscriptions will be deprecated for tags, locations, and geographic regions.

The developer guide also has information about this:

OLD: https://www.instagram.com/developer/deprecated/realtime/

NEW: https://www.instagram.com/developer/subscriptions/

I use https://api.instagram.com/v1/users/self/feed?access_token=AccessToken&count=100 to get my channels.

Perhaps you are missing a counter in your api or let me know which api you are using
