I've looked everywhere in the Spotify API documentation as well as spending an hour or so circumventing plan A, by trying to use Rovi's API (Spotify's data provider, I think...). Rovi's music api access is a mess, btw.
Anybody have success in retrieving an artist's biography text data? (see ex image)
Artist's biography it's just not added in any endpoint of the Spotify's API. If you see the biography in Spotify app that's probably because the app uses a closed API whose documentation it's not available to the public.

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 have an application where I am using Facebook,Linkedin and Twitter Api's to post on the respective platforms.Now I am deciding to use Instagram to start posting using their Api but I have not found any good articles to implement their Api.
Moreover I have read somewhere that it is not possible to post media contents using Instagram Api's. Is it true or we can now use Instagram to share media contents ?
Currently, it's only possible to post comments via the Instagram Graph API. You cannot post media.
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/instagram-api/reference/media
IG Media
Represents and Instagram photo, video, story, or album.
Creating
This operation is not supported. To create an IG Comment, use the POST /{ig-media-id}/comments endpoint instead.
However there is a new publishing beta program you must be invited into:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/instagram-api/reference/user/media
Creates a media container for a photo IG Media object. This endpoint is only available to partners in the Content Publishing API beta program.

I am reviewing the new Instagram Graph API and looking for a location element for the media item endpoint.
What I'm looking to achieve is a way to search a location for images posted that have locations tagged in that area or a location.
I'm looking at the media item endpoint in their reference page at:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/instagram-api/reference/media/
The Instagram API documentation doesn't seem to include this at present. Does anyone know if the media item will include a location element? e.g. by place name or lat/long.
Thanks
The Instagram Graph API which is from facebook api - is only for those instagram accounts which are converted to business account. In other words linked to fb business pages.
That API gives only owned data and the moderation for comments and deep insights on account posts.
The is Instagram api for your use case which is open for all accounts. You would want something like this: https://www.instagram.com/developer/endpoints/locations/
This gives all the recent media in reverse chronological based on a location id.
But there is a caveat: It needs public_content oauth scope; which Instagram has stopped issuing for new auth apps. So, if you don't have that enabled already, probably you won't be able to get that access authorised. Plus, this api is scheduled to be deprecated in 2020.
Recently, Instagram/Facebook stopped approving apps using their old Instagram API in favor of Facebook's graph api.
I'm struggling to figure out how to migrate of some of the functionality I'm wanting in my app.
With instagram, to get recent images with a given tag, you simply made a request to this URL:
https://api.instagram.com/v1/tags/{tag-name}/media/recent?access_token=ACCESS-TOKEN
Does the Facebook graph api for instagram have that? I couldn't find it in their documentation.
The new graph API does not support all the APIs that the old Instagram API supported. You cannot get images by hashtag and location and any user's posts, like you could with old APIs.
With new graph API you can only access your photos and your insights and comments.
No hashtag posts, other user posts, location posts or follower lists.
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.
