Hello @elleryfamilia, I wasn't able to reproduce this bug. Here is the code I used to test it:

var ig = require('instagram-node').instagram({});

ig.use({
  access_token: 'YOUR_TOKEN'
});

var total = 0;
ig.user_media_recent('33082304', {
  count: 5
}, function hdl(err, medias, pagination) {
  if(err) {
    console.log(err.stack);
    process.exit(1);
  }
  else {
    console.log('Retrieved: ' + medias.length);
    medias.forEach(function(m) {
      total ++;
      console.log(m.id);
    });
    if(pagination.next) {
      return pagination.next(hdl);
    }
    else {
      console.log('DONE: ' + total);
    }
  }
});

And here is the result:

It seems like it's working fine. Have you any other information about this issue? Could you test the snippet above?

Ah, seems like I missed something. My understanding was that count was limiting the total number of records returned, not just "the page". I'll have to implement something on my end if I want to restrict your example to just 35 records instead of 38. I'll go ahead and close this. Thanks for the sample code!
