On the home page for Google Photos APIs, it indicates you can "Keep in sync with new content":
However, looking at the documentation, I don't see an obvious way to do this. I'm wanting to build an API that one-way syncs ALL photos from Google Photos to another destination. Is this possible?

I want to use an Instagram influencer service with more than 120,000 Followers,
but every time he publishes a story on his profile, the deep link that I Gave him sent users to the app stores and google play and not to the specific product in the app.
It's OK for those who haven't Install the app yet, but what about those who already installed it?
Why do they land on the app store and google play and not on the specific content I wanted?
Of course, that's works OK when I promote an Instagram story ad but is there any way it will work organiclly from a business user with 120,000 Followers? maybe there's a problem with my Deep-link?
thanks!
I'm just wondering if there is some service out there, where I can send an e-mail to with an image attached and that service posts this image to my Instagram account?
If you check out the API endpoints you can see that they are quite limited. Facebook made changes to Instagram's API last summer which did away with lots of features; having an endpoint for posting may have been one of them. Either way, it is no longer around, and seeing as Facebook does not want to encourage using their services outside of their own sites and apps, it is unlikely you'd be able to find the service you are looking for.
I'm building a site which wants to display recent Instagram images in a carousel, grabbed from a specific geotagged location. I have everything ready to go, but I just can't figure out how to get the data.
I'm using node.js and I want to grab the image URLs server-side and give them to the client for them to make the requests to Instagram to fetch the images. If this hits rate limits or violates Instagram policy then I'll simply cache the images server-side instead. Either way, I have no idea how to get the data I need from Instagram.
The furthest I've got is manually getting an access token using this URL: https://www.instagram.com/oauth/authorize/?client_id=123456&redirect_uri=http://localhost&response_type=token&scope=public_content
Then using that access token I tried the following request in Postman:
https://api.instagram.com/v1/locations/226170293/media/recent?access_token=123456
But it returns the following:
{"pagination": {}, "data": [], "meta": {"code": 200}}
After Googling around a bit, I figured maybe it's because my Instagram app is in sandbox mode. So I went about applying for full access. The request form presents these options:
Which use case best describes your Instagram integration?
I want to install a third party widget to show Instagram content on my website.
I want to display hashtag content and public content on my website.
I want to display my Instagram posts on my website.
I want to build analytics for my own Instagram account.
My app is still in development and/or is a test app.
My app allows non-business users to login and post comments, likes or follow actions.
My app allows people to login with Instagram and share their own content.
My product helps brands and advertisers understand, manage their audience and media rights.
My product helps broadcasters and publishers discover content, get digital rights to media, and share media with proper attribution.
Other
My requirement falls under the second option, but after selecting it, I'm told:
This use case is not supported. We do not approve the public_content permission for one-off projects such as displaying hashtag based content on your website. As alternative solution, you can show your own Instagram content, or find a company that offers this type of service (content discover, moderation, and display).
And actually, selecting any option apart from the 3 options above "Other" presents a message stating it's not allowed. Even selecting "Other" shows:
We do not accept submissions for integrations that do not fall into one of the approved use cases.
Talk about terrible UX.
I'm seriously considering just scraping the URLs instead, but I'm betting that's definitely against Instagram policy, but what other choice do I have? All I want to do is display some images on a website...
Think I have it thanks to https://stackoverflow.com/a/40527149/1864403.

No idea how people can find this out other than word-of-mouth.
I just noticed that new Instagram API's sandbox has too many restrictions and I would need to submit review to build my app. I googled to see if there's a way around but looks like using their API would be better than anything.
The app I was going to build requires all the API endpoints that Instagram doesn't allow Sandbox users to access (such as hashtag search and get recent tags). Do I just build one assuming I can get responses from the endpoints? I am pretty confused. Anything would help. Thanks!
You think you have two options:
Since, instagram allows you get the contents from the user's in the sandbox mode.
Create an App using link and submit for review to get experience with public data available in instagram.

Accessing Spotify Metadata API from within a Spotify app?
It seems that the cocoalibspotify API has been worked on a lot since then, but can someone confirm that we still have to fall back to using the Spotify web API in iOS for users without Spotify accounts to be able to search and view metadata for albums and artists?
Everything appears to work when a user is logged via the API (using [SPSession attemptLoginWithUserName]), but when doing for example, [SPAsyncLoading waitUntilLoaded] on an SPTrack, it times out unless you're logged in.
No, for CocoaLibSpotify to work at all, you need to have a logged-in user. The Web API is the only way to access metadata without this.
