same happening with me

As far as I can tell there's an issue with the redirectUrl Still haven't figured how to solve it.

What I noticed is that when it's first time I logged into IG then it worked just fine, and if it's second attempt so browser kinda had already remembered my account - it failed with 403.

I suppose it is the cookies issue, as it returned html page with the text that said smth about cookies couple times.

I don't think so, because I tried with props incognito but it still gets that issue.

Adding to all the above comments. This issue comes only for Android. It works perfectly fine for iOS every time. Even it works every time on Postman too.

@sujay-bidchat were you able to find a solution for this?

[sujay-bidchat]

@nimit07 I have found a workaround for this issue. You can send the "code" to BE (Back End) and let them get the access_token for you. This is what I've done.

Try in a this way:

const data = {
  client_id: clientId,
  client_secret: clientSecret,
  grant_type: 'authorization_code',
  redirect_uri: redirectUri,
  code: authorizationCode,
};

const url = 'oauth/access_token';

const api = axios.create({
  baseURL: 'https://api.instagram.com/',
  withCredentials: false, // Disable automatic handling of cookies
});

const config = {
  headers: {
    'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded;charset=UTF-8',
  },
};

api
    .post(url, new URLSearchParams(data).toString(), config)
    .then((response) => {
      console.log(response);
      // Handle the response containing the access token
      const accessToken = response.data.access_token;
      // Use the access token to make further API requests
      // ...
    })
    .catch((error) => {
      console.log(error);
      // Handle any error that occurred during the request
    });
