A crude Instagram hashtag like calculator. Theoretically can grab up to 100,000 pics of likes (an hour), given Instagram's API throttling. It's not 100% reflective of all images in a hashtag, Instagram doesn't return full data sets. But it can report averages and project a total, if that's useful to ya. Get your own access key and try it out.
