Hello,

right now no there is no way to get the posts on each request. The only plugin i know that implements this kind of logic is the gatsby-source-filesystem and it is actually using a file watcher to accomplish it when using gatsby develop.

But even if there was a way to have a watcher on gatsby develop, there is no way (that i know) to have this on a live production site since the plugins are not in your source files. I ll ask around but it seems to me that in gatsby logic there is no way to use component lifecycle for actually running plugins.

Thanks for the response. I got it to work how I want by taking your getPublicInstagramPosts function and moving that into my component, then calling it in the component's componentDidMount (passing in the IG username). So I sort of had to "extract" your plugin and use the raw source outside of the Gatsby plugin ecosystem.
