Does this still work?

Sorry to log an issue for a question.

Turns out there was a problem, which I just fixed and pushed: Instagram changed the format of the photo URLs returned by the API, so the program was no longer extracting the [filename].jpg part of the URLs correctly to save the photos to disk as, and then likewise was not displaying the new photos because the filenames they had been saved as didn't end in .jpg

Thanks so much.

So I've been trying to get it to work, but having an issue with the IG access token.

I tried to follow the links in the instructions that you posted, but unfortunately, you can't generate tokens that way anymore (the general issue with IG!)

So I then followed these instructions (ONLY) https://github.com/adrianengine/jquery-spectragram/wiki/Register-on-Instagram-Basic-Display-API-and-get-an-Access-Token

And copy pasted the token in the python script, but when I run it, I get an instagram error stating the token is invalid.

Beyond simply getting a token using the above link, is there anything else I need to do?

At least on my systems (and on the Idea Fab Labs big display system until everything got shut down due to COVID-19), it still works great using the token for the IFL Instagram account that I had originally gotten as described in step 13 of the README. I'll try getting a token for my personal Instagram account too, and see if I can figure out what the deal is now to get a working token.
