I'm trying to subscribe to new hashtag posts. It looks like this should be supported with add_tag_subscription however I always get an APISubscriptionError.

> ig.add_tag_subscription('test', 'https://requestb.in/1i1e0fi1', console.log)
undefined
> { Error: APISubscriptionError: Unable to reach callback URL "https://requestb.in/1i1e0fi1".

  error_type: 'APISubscriptionError',
  error_message: 'Unable to reach callback URL "https://requestb.in/1i1e0fi1".',

https://requestb.in/1i1e0fi1 never gets hit.

The subscription docs linked to in your readme have been removed: https://www.instagram.com/developer/realtime/

However this page still exists on the IG docs: https://www.instagram.com/developer/subscriptions/

Although it doesn't mention anything about tags, just users.

So is add_tag_subscription still supported? Am I doing something stupid or has Instagram dropped this support from their API?
