Does Instagram has Dynamic feed API which pulls latest feed automatically similar to twitter API's ? I am looking to build a custom widget to show latest feed of Instagram always shown on top.
You can use the following endpoint to get the most recent media published by the owner of the Instagram account:
https://api.instagram.com/v1/users/self/media/recent/?access_token=ACCESS-TOKEN
You need to pass in the parameters as well:
ACCESS_TOKEN A valid access token.
COUNT Count of media to return.
MIN_ID Return media later than this min_id.
MAX_ID Return media earlier than this max_id.
With this endpoint, the most recent media will be the first to get returned to you. Also, this endpoint requires the owner of the media to be the same as the access_token owner.
You can read more about other endpoints on in the Instagram API Documentation.

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 want to get recent media from a selection of third-party Business Accounts on Instagram.
The Business Discovery API appears to be built for just this purpose
However, the response contains Media IDs rather than URLs to the media itself.
I can't find an endpoint where I can GET(Media) by ID.
Any advice?
You can get the media details using the following query.
Ex:
?fields=business_discovery.username(USERNAME){id,followers_count,media_count,ig_id,media{caption,media_url,media_type,like_count,comments_count,timestamp,id}}
I have this URL here with my access key,
https://api.instagram.com/v1/users/MY_USER_ID/media/recent?access_token=MY_ACCESS_KEY
but it only returns 1 item.
I have googled for a solution, but can't seem to find one.
This was working about a month ago and now it's broken.
I have deleted the old client, created a new one and generated a new access_token.
But it stays with the same result.
My question is:
How can I get the same results like a month ago?
I got my access token via freevision.me/instagram
and my client ID by following these instructions doc.freevision.me/adventure/knowledge-base/get-instagram-client-id.
https://api.instagram.com/v1/users/{user-id}/media/recent/?access_token=ACCESS-TOKEN
Get the most recent media published by a user.
The public_content scope is required if the user is not the owner of the access_token.
REQUIREMENTS
Scope: public_content
PARAMETERS
ACCESS_TOKEN A valid access token.
MAX_ID Return media earlier than this max_id.
MIN_ID Return media later than this min_id.
COUNT Count of media to return.
instagram api
and here media endpoint (see "count")
Instagram media
The right endpoint is this: get_user_media_recent and if your app is in sandbox mode, you will need to enable the user as a sandbox user (you can do that from the settings of instagram app: Manage Client > Edit > Sandbox tab)
Anyway, in the sandbox mode, the API not return the pagination because has a limit of 20 media.
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.
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.
