About a year ago the question was asked about enabling the sharing of images from a website to Instagram - the same way you can for Facebook or Twitter through PHP API. Has anything changed? Is this possible?
No, you still cannot post images to Instagram through their API. The only method they allow is through the use of their mobile applications.

I'm building a JEE app that schedules the user's posts in their social media. After long hours of researches, some resources say that instagram does not allow 3rd party apps to post via their API, while others say it has become possible.
So can I post via those API? and if not, how can I get their permission to post? (apparently there's no way to contact them directly)
Thank you.
I searched into the Instagram API docs and I discovered that posting images and tagging products through API requests is not (yet?) possible.
Is it true?
Depends from type of account that you use:
Personal account. Not possible to post via API
Business account. Posible via API Graph for Instagram. https://developers.facebook.com/docs/instagram-api/overview
Is it possible to push video content from a mobile app to Instagram stories by using Instagram API?
Many thanks for your help
No, this is not possible. Instagram doesn't allow API calls to post content
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 just working on a Node.js project which uses Instagram API to boost up users likes/comments & follower numbers by focusing on user specific tags and automatically create organic bonds between users with liking and commenting. Or you can call this shortly as a Instagram bot.
However, the rate and user limits of the Instagram API made me curios about some stuff.
Firstly, the process for going live in Instagram looks so complex and toilsome so how the well-known Instagram BOTs (Archie, Instagress etc.) can made this ? Because I thought Instagram never accepted a usage for their API for this purpose and their Platform Policy is so strict that one can not hide their main purpose.
Secondly, even though app goes to live , the rate limit for endpoints used to publish (POST or DELETE) so limited that how these bots can work fluently without exceeding these limits even they have a lot of users ?
It would be best if anyone is experienced about Instagram API and the Instagram bots can answer there questions.
they develop it without official instagram API, they used private API that uses instagram mobile application. I developed instagram bot, I have it on my local server.
