Please help me out how to do that.The whole day i googled for it but did not find any solution.
Thanks in Advance....
As far as I know this is not possible via the Facebook Graph API. A possible solution would be to send the profile pictures of each user to your server, store it and then display it wherever you want to show them.
But I think this is against the TOS of the Facebook API, and if it would not be against the TOS, you might have to request permission from the user.
Check the API TOS to see if that's possible.

I am working on an app, which does the below:
A user logins using instagram User creates content and shares it with a subset of her instagram followers ( say 3 out of 200)
Those 3 users get a message in their insta inbox and can click on a link
and sign up on our app.
I am trying to find Insta API documentation, but I am unable to. Can someone experienced with Insta API's please guide to me to specific parts of the Instagram API documentation which can do What I am imagining?
Thanks
The thing that you are trying to create is not possible by using official Instagram APIs. None of the APIs returns the list of followers for given user. It is also not possible to send a Direct message via Instagram API.
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/instagram-api here is the introduction to Instagram Graph API. Right on the top of that page you will find possible use-case scenarios.
There is also more limited Basic Display API which documentation and possible use-cases you can find here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/instagram-basic-display-api
I need to get an instagram user stories and add them to my app.
I've searched a lot and didn't find any way to do such.
I tried to search it on instagram api and facebook graph api but it seems that they provide only own user data after the user is logged in.
How can i achieve that ?
Unfortunately this is not possible with the official Instagram Graph API.
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.
Can I get likes by specific user using Instagram API? I saw this in Windows Phone app, but I can't find it in API docs.
Is it possible?
If I understand this correctly, you wish to get the most recently liked photos of a particular user.
This can be done using the Instagram API - but only when that particular user has authenticated your app.
You can use the following endpoint:
GET /users/self/media/liked
Here the API call would be :
https://api.instagram.com/v1/users/self/media/liked?access_token=ACCESS-TOKEN
This will give you the list of recent media liked by the owner of the ACCESS-TOKEN.
More details on the Instagram API here :
https://www.instagram.com/developer/endpoints/users/#get_users_feed_liked
Unfortunately no, you can't.
This feature is only available on the Instagram app following this steps
To view the 300 most-recent posts you've liked, go to your account
settings in the app and then tap Posts You've Liked. You won't be able
to view posts you've liked on the web.
I want to build Instagram client for Ubuntu. I already figured out how to get data like user feed through access token through Instagram API. But I can't figure out how to get user news (e.g. someone liked your photo, mentioned you in comment etc.), I guess user need to be logged on to watch his news (via http://instagram.com/api/v1/news/inbox/).
So, the question: is there any way to get user feed through API, or through access token? I don't want to request user password in my application, all I got is access token.
This endpoint (v1/news/inbox/) is not supported by official Instagram API. By the way; you can't access the data.
