We made a software using PHP Laravel that was a more robust search engine for Instagram. When the API got closed off we lost or access. Does anybody know how to get around this?

Recently i found this endpoint https://www.instagram.com/{username}/?__a=1 that not requiers authentication for use.
I need to know if may use this endpoint for integrate in an mobile application.
The endpoint is not listed on instagram documentation.
But i dont understand. It's not possible to get instagram profile media data in anyway without authentication? I hate this.
tearing me apart.
Not a good idea to use it in a production app, API is undocumented and may stop working anytime, there was another undocumented API that a lot of people were using for few years in apps and it stopped working 3 weeks ago without any warning.
My team needs to download images linked to a hashtag on Instagram. However, it seems that this is not allowed via the Instagram API as the user that posted the image needs to give permission first. This is not a good user experience for the app that needs to be built. Does anyone know of an alternative way to get around this?
I am new to use the foursquare API,
I want to use the foursquare api's on my web development.
my question is,
i) can I call the foursquare api's directly from the web browser with out contacting the
server, Is there a way/mechanism to do so?
ii) If it should contact through the server what is the best optimum way to do so.
iii) pointing me to the specific document deals above the case would be also appreciated
Much appreciated for your quick.
For documentation and tutorials for the FourSquare API, reference: https://developer.foursquare.com/
Specifically, you would be using JS to do what you ask. It will be done in the web browser as it is a web API.

Recently Instagram changed their API's policy, which means you can no longer like/follow/unfollow using their API unless you are approved by Instagram to do so.
I own the website http://instapromobiz.com which uses JavaScript and PhP to automate likes/follows/unfollows using Instagram's API. This was doing great until Instagram made this update and I can no longer perform these actions.
My question is, is there any way to perform these actions without using Instagram's API? Sites like http://instagress.com are still working so there must be another way to perform these actions without using their API.
Does anybody have any suggestions that might point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance.
You should submit your app for review. They usually answer quickly.
Go to Manage Clients (https://www.instagram.com/developer/clients/manage/), then click on Edit button of your App. Your submission can be made over Permissions tab.
But, unfortunatelly, it's probably Instagram won't authorize an app that do like/ follow automatically. They want to ensure an authentic and consistent experience for the Instagram Community, so those actions should be manual. Good luck.
I'm making an app and I plan to have some cloud happening with it, but I do not want to create a user data base and have the users need to remember their username and password.
Since it will be distributed through the chrome app store it's basically guaranteed that the user will have a google account. All I want to do is:
Get the user's email through the google account stuff. If I get it through there, well then their email is all the authentication I need to get that user's data.
If I end up putting the application on something other than chrome browser, I'll just have the user use their email to request a validation link, and then I'll send them a validation code for that account, they put the validation code into the application, it takes that as a verified user, so that's secure and easy as well.
EDIT: I'm looking into this. So far I have:
OAuth 2
Google API
But I have a problem that I don't know what to set as my javascript origins in the Google API and there isn't too much info on this abroad. If anyone can tell me what javascript origins I need to set for a chrome extension to access google api it would be a great help.
PS: Thanks for down vote, this is why I love resorting to stack exchange.
Hmmm, I think the only reason this was voted down is the fact that this question may be been asked somewhere on the site already (but I'll help you and give give a 1up).
So what you are wanting to use the Google OpenID. You will have to register your application with Google so they can provide OAuth2 tokens for you application. I have not done this with Google but with other services and it is pretty easy, just search around.
In terms of obtaining OAuth2 for your application in the chrome extension - this can be a pain since the extension is sandboxed and Google's example uses OAuth not OAuth2.
Here is solution I host on GitHub for this - I also use this in my extension GitHub Repositories:
https://github.com/jjNford/oauth2-chrome-extension
Hope this helps in some way. Don't get discourages with StackOverflow, it is a great resource with many great contributors.
Good luck!
I had to up vote you too as I'm tracking down a related issue so here is what I've found that may help.
According to these directions - http://code.google.com/p/google-api-javascript-client/wiki/Authentication - "In the "Authorized JavaScript Origins" box, enter the protocol and domain for your site." This should be the protocol (http:// or https://) followed by any optional subdomain followed by your domain name and no trailing slash. Nothing after the domain name.
This prevents certain kind of security attacks, see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Same_origin_policy.
There are some related questions here that I found that may help:
Problems with Google Picker API and selecting Google Drive items and google apis console 'Javascript origins'.
Now with all of that said, I am still trying to track down what values to put in there for one of my sites hosted as a Google Site, as none of the obvious values are working for me. So there may be some subtlety there that I have missed in this explanation.
