Instagram App was probably moved to sandbox mode: https://www.instagram.com/developer/sandbox/

This causes errors:

I see, I'll update as soon I'll figure out this sandbox crap.

abidibo commented 8 years ago

@marcopompili any news on this one? Or an idea of how much time it can take (only because I've your package used in a production deployed application)? Thanks.

marcopompili commented 8 years ago

@abidibo A few days ago I checked the process of submitting the app into review.

To do this I have to write a privacy statement which Instagram has to review and then they "should" put the application back live. This privacy statement should inform the user about the data stored on the server, I cannot be certain which data will be stored on Django, because a developer can potentially change the source code in his/her installation.

Because of this legal matter I'll probably change the application so every developer should submit their installation through an Instagram review.

Does this mean that the whole app is not useable or will it work if I change the access_token?

marcopompili commented 8 years ago

@ststaynov It will not work if you change the access token, you also have to submit the application under review. I'm trying to find a way to avoid authentication and to completely avoid python-instagram which seems to be dead (https://github.com/facebookarchive/python-instagram)

Now this package uses scraping, so no need of python-instragram or go through Instagram review process.
