How does Instagram API do Re-submission?
We applied Instagram API and That is already passed.
we have selected "My app allows people to login with Instagram and share their own content." in "1. Which use case best describes your Instagram integration?" questtion when we applied.
But This is a mistakes. Actually We wanted to select "My product helps brands and advertisers understand, manage their audience and media rights." in this question.
So we want to re-submit on Instagram API.
We tryed submittion again, and then get this message "You have not requested any permission."
So can you help me to solve this problem ?

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
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.
Since there is no way to message the Instagram support directly, I'm trying my luck here. In case of asking a redundant question, please forgive us.
We're trying to use the Instagram API with a Nodejs web application, to track Instagram feeds for a specific hashtag. right now, there's a developer account in sandbox mode. Using a simple get request (https://www.instagram.com/developer/endpoints/media/), we receive Instagram photos with a specific hashtag, which were posted by ourselves, but not from any public Instagram accounts. Since Instagram changes the access conditions for features like this, could you help us with my question?
In sandbox mode you will only see your and your sandbox users' posts in API response, once you complete app, get approved by Instagram and go live, you will get all posts for hashtag search.
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.

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 am making my research for an upcoming project:
It is going to be a website you can login via your Instagram account - I need access to the user's name, profile picture and to the people he/she is following.
Is Instagram allowing a website/project to access this information?
Just in case this is a super easy question: I am not a developer and it is very hard for me to work through the Instagram developer website - I highly appreciate any help!!
Thank you very much!

You will first need to implement the authentication part, and receive an access_token for the user. In fact you will receive user's id, username, and profile photo along with the access_token.
That was the hardest part. Then you may use the access_token to make some API calls to get information such as follows and followed-by.
You can access Name, profile photo and followers using Instagram APIs.
Here are the 2 APIs you will need:
http://instagram.com/developer/endpoints/users/#get_users
https://api.instagram.com/v1/users/1574083/?access_token=ACCESS-TOKEN
http://instagram.com/developer/endpoints/relationships/#get_users_follows
https://api.instagram.com/v1/users/3/follows?access_token=ACCESS-TOKEN
