scrap image with hashtags for research purpose

Hi, I'm an MA student study in Finland and writing my thesis about young activists in the climate strike movement, I'm trying to collect images of protest signs with hashtags on Instagram and I found your solution very helpful

But since the Instagram policy has changed, is it illegal for this automated method of scraping data? My research would be mainly focused on the meme-based communication in those signs, so I need to start with hashtags, then filter with time log to get qualitative data(maybe less than 5 images use the meme technique)

It takes highly consideration of research ethics in the academic area so I need to be very careful, otherwise, I might turn into other platforms like Flickr to reach my data, thanks for ypur time and responding!
