It used to be possible to post a chekin without a venue, which would result in a "shout" being posted to Foursquare. This has stopped working. Is it possible to do this anymore?
Per this announcement, it's no longer possible: https://groups.google.com/group/foursquare-api/browse_thread/thread/231fcc783f5c592f

Issue:
First API calls only returns top 3 posts.
The next_url returns no data(data array is empty and pagination string is null)
The 4th post is suspect because I am unable to get it with API calls and it is not returned in the first API call.
Details:
Using v1/users/self/media/recent endpoint
Using Javascript to loop through calls, using "next_url" for the 2nd and subsequent call.
Using Access Token
Worked fine(returned all posts) until "the 4th post" was made
Why do I think one specific post is the issue? Because I am unable to retrieve it using the API. If I set the max_id to this post id, then I get all other posts before this post.
If I leave max_id out, the first call gets all posts newer than this post.
Verified that I am not in a Sandbox.
Has anyone encountered this before? and why would one post be breaking the next_url API call? Is there something in the post causing this?
I can't give out the IG account, sorry I know that would help, but it needs to remain private.
I am a developer on a project that makes extensive use of the legacy Instagram API. It has, for a long while now, been extremely flakey. We have experienced your exact issue many times and there is no practical solution.
However, all Instagram APIs have now (finally!) been migrated to Facebook. You should use the new Instagram Basic Display API which will be properly supported going forward.
I have a domain which have a feature to login with instagram a/c, registered users associate their instagram a/c using this process.
Now i want to store/save all post and comments of users they have posted on instagram a/c.
So that i can perform a search on comments and caption of posts.
As fas as my knowledge its not possible by using instagram api thats why i am saving info in my database.
Is there any simple way to perform search ?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
Instagram only gives you 150 latest comments via API, so if you want to search through all comments, you have fetch comments at regular interval and save on server, searching these comments are straight forward, look for substring in the comment items saved. It is kind of tricky on deciding how often you want to check for comments and store, usually mosts comments are posted few minutes after a popular photo is posted. If you do the checks too often, you may reach the API rate limit.
https://api.instagram.com/v1/media/{media-id}/comments?access_token=ACCESS-TOKEN
If you are dealing with less than 150 comments on average, then you can search through it without needing to save on server and can be done all on client side. Just pull the comments using API and do search through the array of comments using javascript.
Picodash allows you to view the latest 150 comments and search any keyword or user, here is screenshot:
I have developed library in php: https://github.com/raiym/instagram-php-scraper
It allows you to get ALL comments from specific post (I have tested with 8 000 comments)
$comments = Instagram::getMediaCommentsByCode('BGY0zB4r7X2', 1500);
We are having problems with returning results from Instagram API for location (lat, lng) and hashtag searches. It only stopped working in the last couple of weeks.
Has Instagram changed API without warning?
PLEASE help us.
Does anyone also have a sample get call for hashtags?
The script is wtitten in Python.
Thank you

Theres a new Instagram API update that happened in June 2016.
refer dialogfeed doc link
I really wonder how they can increase traffic on insta by setting up stringint limitations. :-(
The Doc stats - "This aims to limit third party inadequate uses of Instagram user contents and to increase trafic on Instagram."
I created an Instagram subscription https://www.instagram.com/developer/subscriptions/
My callback is hit every time a user creates a NEW post. Is there a way to know if a post has been EDITED? It doesn't look like this functionality is supported on the Instagram developer site and I cannot find a solid answer to this problem.
There is no way to be notified when a post has been edited. You'd have to store the post when you're first notified, and then poll it to check for changes (not recommended).
I am searching using https://graph.facebook.com/search?q=anglogold&type=post
this is not returning a post I made myself just now. Any idea why
https://graph.facebook.com/search?q=anglogold&type=post
returns a lot of posts for me.
Facebook can restrict results on search api on different scenarios.
