How to set an existing album photo as timeline cover photo via api. I have seen apps that do this but couldn't figure out how.
Changing the Facebook timeline Image is same as changing the user profile image and Facebook does not allow to change the user's profile Picture or Facebook timeline Cover Image.
Please check these links: for timeline Cover Image Profile Cover Editing via Facebook's Api, and for profile Image changing Can I set a users profile image using the Facebook API?.

I am trying to build a clone to Spotify App using their API and I only seem to be getting name , email and username from the API. Is there a way to get profile picture details?
Appreciate the responses.
You can access profile picture via API, see:
https://developer.spotify.com/documentation/web-api/reference/#/operations/get-current-users-profile
As you can see there is an "images" JSON array containing the picture at different resolutions:
I am trying to use Instagram Basic Display API (V2) to get username and user profile picture of user who logs into application.
I have given necessary permissions to the application for eg. instagram_user_profile & instagram_user_media, I am successfully getting username of the user but i am not getting any API end point which will return me user's profile picture.
following is the link I am referring to for Instagram Basic Display API
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/instagram-basic-display-api
I have tried to query the media node using following GET api listed in the documentation https://graph.instagram.com/{userid}/media?access_token=IGQV....
But in response i am able to get only data of Instagram POST of logged in user.
I'm having the same issue. Instagram Basic Display doesn't provide basic info like user display name and profile picture.
Even the known workarounds, like https://www.instagram.com/USERNAME/?__a=1, are not fully working anymore (think they added some IP filtering, because it works from my machine but if I deploy to an AWS Lambda it doesn't).
The only official way to get the user info that I know is the Instagram Graph API, but it's only for Instagram Business :(
I am building instagram in wordpress using the "elementor" plugin.
In the old version I used the => https://api.instagram.com/v1/users/[my-id]/media/recent/?access_token=[my-token]
Path to retrieve my instagram info data
Through the "29/6/2020" version the old link was no longer available. The algorithm changed that I was unable to retrieve my instagram data that way.
You can show me a new link or a new way for me to get my instagram data (photos, links, likes, comments) on my instagram.
Thank you very much
Best regards
Now you need to connect your instagram account with your facebook account. After of that you can access such things in new way as described at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/instagram-api/reference/user/media#get-media here. Also you need instagram account as Business account.
If you wish to fetch media from your personal account for your website you don't need to work with the graph API and Facebook login part, simply use the INSTAGRAM BASIC DISPLAY API and get your details and media.
Refer this link:

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.
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/instagram-api/guides/content-publishing
Instagram API removed the following endpoint:
GET /users/search
which I was using to get images from my profile on my website.
Is there any way to do this now? I can't find any info since this is very new.
You can get at least the newest 12 pictures from a public account by using this URL scheme:
https://www.instagram.com/[name_of_account]/?__a=1
You can parse the Json output and find the image-URL in display_url
This also works with hashtags and locations:
https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/hawaii/?__a=1
you can show your own media,
https://api.instagram.com/v1/users/self/media/recent/?access_token=ACCESS-TOKEN
just enter access token an you will be able to get your media data
I do not see any way via either the old Instagram API or via the new Facebook graph API for Instagram Business Accounts to get profile images for accounts that are not yours. If it is an Instagram Business Account, you could get the Facebook profile image from the Facebook page associated with that Instagram account; but if it is a non-business Instagram account, that won't work.
