Instagram API 'basic' permission review time [in pending mode since ~12 days] [duplicate] - instagram

This question already has answers here:
Instagram client review taking more than 3 days
(3 answers)
Closed 4 years ago.
I'm writing to you guys as we're tried everything to reach Instagram Developer Support team, without any success so far. (Mail, contact form, help center, ...)
We're developing an app that basically helps people print their photos online, and we have a very important part of the service that uses the Instagram basic permissions to allow users to Instagram Login and select their photos to be printed.
After reading the documentation and guidelines numerous of times (even if that's not our first app), we decided to submit our app to leave the Sandbox Mode. However it's now been 12 days and we're still in pending... We can't modify nor submit again the app, we're kinda stuck at the moment.
Does anyone is facing the same issue? Is this linked to the recent Instagram API deprecation rush (after the FB scandal)?
Anyone in the same situation?
Instagram app in pending mode

Recently Instagram has stopped accepting submissions of new apps, That is the reason you are facing this problem to create new access token. https://techcrunch.com/2018/04/02/instagram-api-limit/
Although for the already registered app, you can still get more access token by adding the additional new users.

Pause app review: We paused app review last week while we implement new changes to our platform.

Is it possible to post to your own timeline on Facebook using GraphAPI (not a page or a group, your own user timeline)

I've been trying to build an app in Python to post to my own user timeline rather than a page or a group, it seems like that functionality once existed but may have been deprecated (according to one post I read that suggested it was removed in November last year). I've been trawling Google for an answer to this but it seems hard to nail down. Is this possible to do and if so, what app permissions do I need and what type of token should I be getting (user/app)?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Improve this question
We had our bot up and running fine on our website and in our mobile app but it just stopped working with Facebook one day. Once we started looking into it we found out Facebook wasnt the only channel broken but the "Test in Web Client" withen Azure Portal was broken as well.
Soon as the bot launched all you received was the default error in code message.
After some digging we found the error was
Error resolving type specified in JSON ‘ChatBot.DialogServiceInterfaces.Models.UserProfileData, ChatBot.DialogServiceInterfaces’. Path ‘UserProfileData.$type’.
What would cause this error?
So a big difference between the "Facebook" \"Test in web client" and the desktop emulator \ Web Channel is that the first two Authenticate AutoMagically using the token already established either a facebook token or an Microsoft Token accordingly. When the Botframework recognizes an Identity it will attempt to restore the previous session. At least to whatever extent that session might have been persisted.
If theres a problem with the recovery of that information it can cause those channels to fail while other channels work fine.
In our case we changed the location of our UserProfileData class. When the Framework went to rehydrate the class it couldnt find it to hydrate it so it lost its mind and and threw that message.

Get back deleted data from switching from business to personal account and back again to business account

During a bug investigation on Instagram app, we tried to associate a Facebook page to an existing Instagram Business creator account. For some reason we had only a "Something went wrong error, please try again later" for days.
We also tried to do it from a new account when we just switched to business account and it worked! So later we tried on our existing account because it's this one that we need to test (but it's a real account from one of our coworker) to switch back to a personal account in order to start the process over.
Unfortunately we did it without being really careful about the grey message that says it will lose content from promotions (we were not even aware about what this is).
Then we switched again to business account and tried to link our Facebook page and it worked. So it clearly fixed the bug that we had to connect our Facebook page.
Nevertheless, a couple hours later, our coworker came to us very scared and told us that she lost all the insights from her previous posts and she really needs it for her other work..
Is there any chance that we can get back this data, and if so how?
This website is for all developers - but I doubt the developers you need to see this are not going to see this. We really don't know how to help you in this case because we (as a community - not as individuals) do not manage any of the instagram or facebook code. These problems will have to be solved using the help provided on their platforms.

Use username media endpoint without Authentication Instagram API

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.

How to like/follow on Instagram without using their 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.
