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

You can find a lot of apps on the app store that show you who's blocked you, your followers list, etc.. But how come? The Instagram Basic Display API and even the Instagram GRAPH API are so limited nowadays. I can't find a way to get someone's followers list.
I now know that all of that information is aquired through Web Scraping.

I need to get an instagram user stories and add them to my app.
I've searched a lot and didn't find any way to do such.
I tried to search it on instagram api and facebook graph api but it seems that they provide only own user data after the user is logged in.
How can i achieve that ?
Unfortunately this is not possible with the official Instagram Graph API.
I am using new Instagram Graph APIs for my application, I am interested in knowing if there is any way I can get profile information about the user who comments on my Instagram posts and what are possible ways to get the direct message exchanging with those users, as far I found that Instagram Graph APIs do not provide any direct messaging support for now, though I found some private APIs but these are not reliable as they can be restricted any time in future.
So all I need is to get those user`s information who commented on my Posts ie- I get only comment_id from the web-hook request from Instagram Graph APIs but when using that comment I try to get its owner/user it does not return any user information except username.
Any help is highly appreciated.
Thank you!
try this endpoint:
v3.0/{comment_id}?fields=id,timestamp,username,text
I want to access and retrieve a user's Stories post from Instagram using their Dev API.
I tested after posting a story myself by using https://api.instagram.com/v1/users/self/media/recent/?access_token=ACCESS-TOKEN.
However, that returns an empty object unless I post a regular post.
As far as I am aware the Instagram API does not currently return Stories.
The example response in the documentation for the media endpoint, for example, shows responses for Images, Videos and Carousel items only. The recent media end point documentation doesn't go into much detail on responses.
Media End Point Documentation
It is available only for Instagram Business Account.
See this link for more information: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/instagram-api/reference/user/stories/
The id returned by this endpoint can be used on the same API media endpoint.
Can I get likes by specific user using Instagram API? I saw this in Windows Phone app, but I can't find it in API docs.
Is it possible?
If I understand this correctly, you wish to get the most recently liked photos of a particular user.
This can be done using the Instagram API - but only when that particular user has authenticated your app.
You can use the following endpoint:
GET /users/self/media/liked
Here the API call would be :
https://api.instagram.com/v1/users/self/media/liked?access_token=ACCESS-TOKEN
This will give you the list of recent media liked by the owner of the ACCESS-TOKEN.
More details on the Instagram API here :
https://www.instagram.com/developer/endpoints/users/#get_users_feed_liked
Unfortunately no, you can't.
This feature is only available on the Instagram app following this steps
To view the 300 most-recent posts you've liked, go to your account
settings in the app and then tap Posts You've Liked. You won't be able
to view posts you've liked on the web.
