Experiencing breakages in other packages based on Instagram API #27

Closed kaanuki closed 4 years ago

kaanuki commented 4 years ago

Hi.

As Instagram moves closer to completely shutting off access to its public API endpoints, I am experiencing breakages in some of the other packages that relied on the Instagrams API, such as 'Instagram-profile-picture'. It's now dead.

Is this currently package experiencing any problems or downtime? Will it possibly experience any problems once Instagram's hard cut-off date of March 31st arrives?

Hello, the package works perfectly for me.

I don't know how many times I have to say this, but this package only used the private API (which is also used by the app). So there's no deprecation to be expected.

Ok. Thanks for clarifying that. But i don't understand how a "private" api can go undetected by Instagram, especially for things like posting. Can they discern the difference in the interactions of this private api and their own actual api?
