I am trying to build a clone to Spotify App using their API and I only seem to be getting name , email and username from the API. Is there a way to get profile picture details?
Appreciate the responses.
You can access profile picture via API, see:
https://developer.spotify.com/documentation/web-api/reference/#/operations/get-current-users-profile
As you can see there is an "images" JSON array containing the picture at different resolutions:

I am trying to use Instagram Basic Display API (V2) to get username and user profile picture of user who logs into application.
I have given necessary permissions to the application for eg. instagram_user_profile & instagram_user_media, I am successfully getting username of the user but i am not getting any API end point which will return me user's profile picture.
following is the link I am referring to for Instagram Basic Display API
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/instagram-basic-display-api
I have tried to query the media node using following GET api listed in the documentation https://graph.instagram.com/{userid}/media?access_token=IGQV....
But in response i am able to get only data of Instagram POST of logged in user.
I'm having the same issue. Instagram Basic Display doesn't provide basic info like user display name and profile picture.
Even the known workarounds, like https://www.instagram.com/USERNAME/?__a=1, are not fully working anymore (think they added some IP filtering, because it works from my machine but if I deploy to an AWS Lambda it doesn't).
The only official way to get the user info that I know is the Instagram Graph API, but it's only for Instagram Business :(
I am working on an app, which does the below:
A user logins using instagram User creates content and shares it with a subset of her instagram followers ( say 3 out of 200)
Those 3 users get a message in their insta inbox and can click on a link
and sign up on our app.
I am trying to find Insta API documentation, but I am unable to. Can someone experienced with Insta API's please guide to me to specific parts of the Instagram API documentation which can do What I am imagining?
Thanks
The thing that you are trying to create is not possible by using official Instagram APIs. None of the APIs returns the list of followers for given user. It is also not possible to send a Direct message via Instagram API.
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/instagram-api here is the introduction to Instagram Graph API. Right on the top of that page you will find possible use-case scenarios.
There is also more limited Basic Display API which documentation and possible use-cases you can find here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/instagram-basic-display-api
Instagram recently introduced a new feature allowing users to post multiple photos via a slideshow.

However, we are not seeing that content get returned when we GET /users/self/media/recent
Does anyone know how to get slideshow content from a user via the API?
I want to build Instagram client for Ubuntu. I already figured out how to get data like user feed through access token through Instagram API. But I can't figure out how to get user news (e.g. someone liked your photo, mentioned you in comment etc.), I guess user need to be logged on to watch his news (via http://instagram.com/api/v1/news/inbox/).
So, the question: is there any way to get user feed through API, or through access token? I don't want to request user password in my application, all I got is access token.
This endpoint (v1/news/inbox/) is not supported by official Instagram API. By the way; you can't access the data.
Hi all I am implementing the facebook api in my application.I am using my custom API for that.Now what i want is to show the profile pictures of all the user who are using my application.I am only able to fetch the data of user,his profile picture,But not able to fetch the pictures of the users who are using my application.
Please help me out how to do that.The whole day i googled for it but did not find any solution.
Thanks in Advance....
As far as I know this is not possible via the Facebook Graph API. A possible solution would be to send the profile pictures of each user to your server, store it and then display it wherever you want to show them.
But I think this is against the TOS of the Facebook API, and if it would not be against the TOS, you might have to request permission from the user.
Check the API TOS to see if that's possible.
