thumbStyle	Set result images to “circle” or “square”
loadingIcon	Path to custom loading icon
requestHandler	Required function that fetches data, adds “image” and “name” properties to each object in the response array, and then passes data back to the instatype component. See an example requestHandler function below.

    dataType: "jsonp",
    data: {
      client_id: this.props.instagramClientId,
      q: query,
      count: limit
    },
    success: function(data) {
      // Instatype expects an "image" and "name" for each result
      var renamedData = data.data.map(function(result){
        result.image = result.profile_picture;
        result.name = result.username;
        return result;
      });
