Where I can see list of my requests? - instagram

I just can see the list of my follows and followed by https://api.instagram.com/v1/users/self/follows?access_token=ACCESS-TOKEN and https://api.instagram.com/v1/users/self/followed-by?access_token=ACCESS-TOKEN endpoints or in an official instagram application for android (version 6.11.2). Also I can see the requests to me from another accounts by https://api.instagram.com/v1/users/self/requested-by?access_token=ACCESS-TOKEN endpoint or also in the application. But I can't get the list of my own pending requests to people who doesn't want see me in his friendlist.
How can I see the list of my pending requests to people which is not my follows by the API or an official instagram application for android?
P.S. Sorry for my bad English.

406 Error / Response with Eventbrite Search API

I am currently trying to pull data from the Eventbrite API platform in Jupyter Labs. Sporadically, I am receiving a 406 Not Acceptable Error when I make the request. However, invariably, if I make the same request again a few minutes later the request pulls the data fine.
I've checked the usual things: ie that I have not gone over my request limits.
Here is the request I am currently making:
url = 'https://www.eventbriteapi.com/v3/events/search/?token=MY_TOKEN_HERE&location.latitude=42.34631505453378&location.longitude=-71.04174243961083&location.within=3km&start_date.range_start=2019-10-30T00:00:00Z&start_date.range_end=2019-11-30T00:00:00Z&expand=venue'
x = requests.get(url)
x
And the response:
<Response [406]>
Any thoughts on what the problem might be?
Yeah, I got an email from them a little over a week ago saying:
Hello,
We're reaching out today to follow up regarding the events/search/ endpoint. Thank you for your patience while we worked to reach a conclusion to the issue.
Access to the Eventbrite Event Search API (GET /v3/events/search/) will be shut down at 11:59 pm PT on Thursday, December 12, 2019.
We strongly encourage you to find and remove any code that makes requests to this Event Search API from your applications in advance.
Why is this happening?
We’re removing the Event Search API to further improve the Eventbrite platform and allow us to support more Creators and their events. Allowing public access to this particular API was impacting our platform and the high level of service we strive to provide to our creators and their attendees. We are able to provide alternative access to retrieve your event data through our Event APIs (see below).
What is the replacement API?
To get Events via our API, please see: 
• Retrieve an Event by ID — GET /v3/events/:event_id/
• List Events by Venue — GET /v3/venues/:venue_id/events/ 
• List Events by Organization — GET /v3/organizations/:organization_id/events/
If you’re retrieving private events on behalf of another user, you can complete the app authorization flow. If you’re interested in retrieving public events on behalf of many Eventbrite creators, you can apply to our distribution partner program.
We apologize for the delay in communication regarding this decision, as well as for the inconvenience and frustration this change has caused
Regards,
Eventbrite Developer Support
So it looks like that's finally confirmed as dead at least.
FYI... this is an an ongoing Eventbrite API issue that is causing problems for many. See: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/eventbrite-api/-E0MG7THMsc

How Instagram autolikers bypassing the API deprecation?

In the past, Instagram autoliker, autofollower, like exchanger bots worked with the Instagram API. Thankfully, to keep Instagram - bot safe, they deprecated their API functionallity, so developers can no longer use Commenting, Liking endpoints.
But nowdays, I'm again meet new and new spam comments under a picture in the feed.
I did some research about the new autolikers.
How did the developers, like SocialCaptain bypass the API deprecation?
Are they simulating the user browsing instagram.com?
Actually you can just monitor the requests being sent from instagram.com. Open the developer tools and navigate to the Network tab.
Now you can reverse engineer their API by looking the requests they send on particular actions. The only thing left is to supply the proper body, headers, cookies, etc and perform the requests on your own outside of instagram.com.
Hope it helps !

Instagram - Get post comments

I did create a client in Instagram API but I'm in sandbox mode. My wife have a makeup store account and she is doing a giveaway and the rules is comment a post and mention another 3 friends. So, how can I get all the comments of the photo using or not Instagram API?
We have a web application in: www.beautyglamsd.com and I though that I can put the people that already are in the comments.
You can use service like this one to host your giveaway (works for Instagram, Youtube, Tiktok and VK). You can automate all tasks and save your time (check for like, follow, sponsors).

Instagram API posting likes rate limit

I created an iOS app that using Instagram API and have a critical issue posting likes to Instagram.
Using endpoint – POST /media/media-id/likes, with user-specific access token. I request scope – likes from users.
Instagram API works fine for all requests except saving likes. We can only save/post a couple hundred likes to Instagram, and then response is "We've taken extra measures to protect the Instagram API from abnormal activity. Since you have recently created your API application, please contact apidevelopers#instagram.com to receive whitelisting for a higher rate limit."
There is other developers with same issue with no support or any feedback waiting for months.
Please, let me know if there is limits and how it works, or how to become whitelisted
I don’t want to create many Instagram API clients and assign users among them. It seems like bad acting for me, if there is official API with strict limits I want to work with it.
Instagram has new API limits: 100 likes/hr 60 follows/unfollows/hr per access token. That is only if you authenticate serverside and sign your headers. Check out the new authentication: http://instagram.com/developer/authentication/
I'm using it for my new site that automates likes/follows/unfollows, haven't had any problems works great. Check it out: http://instapromobiz.com
Instagram takes increased measures to limit your API requests based on IP address. This is not common knowledge, it's just something I've come to know from working with the API extensively.
They've built an API that is FAR from perfect, but have been upgrading it to be "smart". Smart enough to know that a newer client, pinging the API many times just for one user, may very well be a script kiddie trying to bot the system. For this reason, they do not give you a rate limit error, they politely say "we have taken extra measures to protect our API from being spammed by bots".
The good news is, other users should still be able to access your liking mechanism. Just not you, from that IP.

Endpoint for getting friends who have been to a venue

The website has had for some time now a section that shows friends who have been to a certain venue, yet I do not see an endpoint for getting this information.
Is such an endpoint in the works or is this considered a privacy issue like friends history even though they're both on the website???
There is no API endpoint with this functionality yet. There's a variety of reasons for why this is the case, but the primary one is that it hasn't hit the top of our priority stack just yet (this element of the website was not built off of the API)
