searchInstagram() failure

I am attempting a test of the searchInstagram function after getting authentication from instagram
rctid <- searchInstagram(tag = "rctid", token = my_oauth, n = 100)
This is a tag for the Portland Timbers MLS team and I searched on their opening game day. I'm returning the following error:
Error in searchInstagram(tag = "rctid", token = my_oauth, n = 100) :
0 posts found.
Interestingly other functions did work like the getTagCount function returned 73693
testtag <- getTagCount(tag="rctid", token = my_oauth)
What am I doing wrong here?

Instagram has changed their policies -- need to apply for permission to get access to their API beyond your own account :(
