OAuthAccessTokenException: The access_token provided is invalid

We're seeing this in our logs all of a sudden:
OAuthAccessTokenException: The access_token provided is invalid
Here's how we're using this module:
var ig = require('instagram-node').instagram();
ig.use({
client_id: config.instagram.client_id,
client_secret: config.instagram.client_secret
});
ig.tag_media_recent('cats', function(err, medias, pagination, remaining, limit){
console.log(err); // <- HERE
});
To be honest, we've been using this a while now, and I just learned that the IG API has undergone some auth changes. What are we missing here?
Thanks in advance.

You must revalidate your users tokens
So, the way we've been using this, we don't have users at all, and we've just been aggregating public instagrams. Is this no longer a thing?
sorry, i answered you too quickly.
Ithink the API now require user authentication for every endpoints. You can not use it without an user account anymore.
From the API documentation :
The Instagram API requires authentication - specifically requests made on behalf of a user. Authenticated requests require an access_token. These tokens are unique to a user and should be stored securely. Access tokens may expire at any time in the future.
Has this issue been resolved?
This worked for me, just add the token, or override the req with your own, instead of calling instagram.user(), make your own call. Thats I did till this gets fixed.
call('GET', '/users/' + id, {access_token:'Token'}, function(err, result, remaining, limit) {
if(err) {
return handle_error(err, cb, retry);
} else if(result && result.meta && result.meta.code === 200) {
return cb(null, result.data, remaining, limit);
} else {
return handle_error(result, cb, retry);
}
}, retry);
