Just like the "simple tagcloud from instagram API, shouldn't take more than a couple of hours." I got given last month.
Two hours of messing about on Instagram trying to get an authentication token for their API I eventually figured it out, only to realize I was authenticated in some sand boxed mode, so only meta-data was being returned. I needed to have the acccount approved before I could use it properly.

That was a waste of two hours of my life.
