Method not found: 'Int64 Skybrud.Social.SocialUtils.GetUnixTimeFromDateTime'

I'm trying to implement the most recent version of the Core and Instagram and I get this message when I call the GetRecentMedia(userId)

---

Exception type: MissingMethodException Exception message: Method not found: 'Int64 Skybrud.Social.SocialUtils.GetUnixTimeFromDateTime(System.DateTime)'. at Skybrud.Social.Instagram.Options.Users.InstagramGetUserRecentMediaOptions.GetQueryString() at Skybrud.Social.Http.SocialHttpClient.DoHttpGetRequest(String url, IGetOptions options) at Skybrud.Social.Instagram.Endpoints.Raw.InstagramUsersRawEndpoint.GetRecentMedia(InstagramGetUserRecentMediaOptions options) at Skybrud.Social.Instagram.Endpoints.InstagramUsersEndpoint.GetRecentMedia(Int64 userId)

Here is the code I'm using via MVC / Razor (actual token and Id removed)

@{

        InstagramOAuthClient client = new InstagramOAuthClient {
            AccessToken = "abc"
        };

        InstagramService service = InstagramService.CreateFromOAuthClient(client);
        InstagramGetRecentMediaResponse response = service.Users.GetRecentMedia(123);

}   
<section>
    <div class="instagram-feed hidden-xs hidden-sm">
        <div class="container-fluid">
            <div class="row">           
            @foreach (var media in response.Body.Data.Take(6)) {        
                 <div class="col-sm-2"><a href="@media.Link" target="_blank"><img src="@media.LowRes" alt="Instagram Image" class="hvr-shrink"/></a></div>
            }
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>
</section>

@mschraeder I'm not sure what version(s) you have installed, but from what you write, is it correct that you're using Skybrud.Social.Core and Skybrud.Social.Instagram instead of Skybrud.Social?

Skybrud.Social is still the latest stable release. The plan is to replace Skybrud.Social with Skybrud.Social.Core and individual packages like Skybrud.Social.Instagram, but that still requires some time and work.

Skybrud.Social.Core and Skybrud.Social.Instagram are both still in beta (I should probably make this more clear in the repository readme), and the most recent version of each of them may not be compatible due to some breaking changes here and there. But as far as I remember, Skybrud.Social.Instagram 1.0.0-beta1 should be compatible with Skybrud.Social.Core 1.0.0-beta1, but not Skybrud.Social.Core 1.0.0-beta2.

Anyways, since both Skybrud.Social.Core and Skybrud.Social.Instagram are in beta, you might be better off sticking with Skybrud.Social for now.

I hope this makes sense ;)

Understood, however I was forced to upgrade because Instagram was no longer working with the 0.9 installation. I had it running for over a year but on June 1 it stopped working so I thought he new version would fix that.

That is due to a change in Instagram's guidelines (and API service). They introduced new guidelines back in November, but existing apps would continue to work based on the old guidelines - until the 1st.

For instance, it is no longer possible to use a client id for accessing the API - you now must obtain an access token. Access to a lot of the API endpoints/methods now also require prior approval from Instagram.

If you get the necessary approval from Instagram, Skybrud.Social should still work. However if you need the new public_content scope, you will have to generate the authorization URL manually - I have an example for that here: https://github.com/abjerner/Skybrud.Social/issues/51#issuecomment-217656065
