stuck in "Loading Instagram Feed"

kibotu commented 4 years ago

Hi thanks for updating the magic mirror access for 'new' instagram api. i've managed to go through the developer process of facebook instagram page.

I've done the following things:

under facebook products > instagram > basic display in development mode
setup https://localhost/ for oauth redirect, deauthorize and data deletion request url
added a test user (my instagram account)
requested permissions for instagram_graph_user_profile and instagram_graph_user_media (although this shows a warning that it requires app review verification)
added the instagram app id, app secret and the https://localhost redirect url to the magic mirror instagram config
then opened the link and authorised the app where i got redirected to: https://localhost/?code=my-token#_
then i copied the token into the mm instagram config to auth_code

at last i restarted the magic mirror but it shows only loading instagram feed without any images, my last instagram photo was not an album or a video, just a plain photo.

any ideas where i went wrong? do i need even in develop mode facebook app review approval?

Hi Kibotu,

The process followed looks good; just to double check did you remove the "#_" from the token before putting it in your config?

yea i removed the #_ still didn't work for me :/ i think it really has something to do with the approval process from facebook

Hello, I am also having this issue and lost Google Assistant in the process lol. Is there a fix for this? If I go through the authorization process and start the MM it loads my feed. When I exit and start again, it is stuck on loading instagram feed. Please let me know if this is salvageable.

I think your right, the process is not elegant and could be automated. For now i was able to get things working by using the "User Token Generator" under FacebookDev > Instagram Basic Display > Basic Display to generate a token then update MagigMirror/modules/MMM-Instagram/accesstoken.cfg with the token. In this case the config should omit auth_code.

Sorry you lost google assistant, not sure if there is a conflict somewhere as never tested with google assistant. Try the method above and it should work.

@kibotu @eccentricmeee I have just updated the MMM-Instagram2020 module so that it now automates the auth process, it does require Magic Mirror to be in https/ssl mode. I have also updated the readme accordingly. Let me know if it works for you.
