Instagram API pagination: Storing returned data

I've been tinkering around with pagination via the Instagram API; however, I'm a bit stuck as to how to go about storing returned data through my recursive calls.

I would like to store all of the item links in an array, but my current method returns an empty array.

Any help would be much appreciated!

$(document).ready(function() {
    $('#fetch_followers').click(function() {
        pollInstagram('https://api.instagram.com/v1/users/3/media/recent/?callback=?&min_timestamp=1388563200&max_timestamp=1420099200&access_token={access_token}', 33);
    });
});

function pollInstagram(next_url, count) {
var collected_objs = []; // Array to collect links (urls)
$.ajax({
    method: "GET",
    url: next_url,
    dataType: "jsonp",
    jsonp: "callback",
    jsonpCallback: "jsonpcallback",
    success: function(data) {

        $.each(data.data, function(i, item) {
            $("#log").val($("#log").val() + item.id + '\n');
            console.log("****************************");
            console.log("This " + JSON.stringify(item.link));
            console.log("****************************");
            $('#target').append('<div id="likes_info"><a href="'+item.link+'"><img src="'+item.images.thumbnail.url+'"/></a>'+"<p><span>"+item.likes.count+"</span></p></div>");

            collected_objs.push(item.link); // Adding urls to collected_objs -- Not Working
        });
        $("#log").val($("#log").val() + data.pagination.next_url + '\n');

        // If the next url is not null or blank:
        if( data.pagination.next_url && count <=50 ) {
            var n_url=data.pagination.next_url + "&callback=?";
            pollInstagram(n_url, ++count);
        }
    },
    error: function(jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown) {
        //alert("Check you internet Connection");
        $("#log").val($("#log").val() + 'Error\n');
    }
});

}
