im trying to write this but im having a hell of a time getting the methods working and im not sure what im bumping up against. more specifically im trying to follow a user via a post command. i added the relationships permission, ive written this method:

- (void)followUser:(InstagramUser*)user
   withSuccess:(void (^)(void))success
       failure:(void (^)(NSError* error))failure
{
    NSDictionary *params = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjects:@[@"action=follow"] forKeys:@[kText]];
    [self postPath:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"users/%@/relationships",user.Id] parameters:params     responseModel:nil success:^{
        success();
    } failure:^(NSError *error, NSInteger statusCode) {
        failure(error);
        NSLog(@"%@", [error description]);
    }];
}

I've been able to get it to work on the api console on the instagram dev website but im not understanding this. are you sure the post works for comments even after the persission is granted via email request?

[nickthedude]

this is what i get:

Error Domain=AFNetworkingErrorDomain Code=-1011 "Request failed: not found (404)" UserInfo=0xa949650 {NSErrorFailingURLKey=https://api.instagram.com/v1/users/602138059/relationships, NSLocalizedDescription=Request failed: not found (404), NSUnderlyingError=0xa96eb40 "Request failed: unacceptable content-type: text/html", AFNetworkingOperationFailingURLResponseErrorKey=<NSHTTPURLResponse: 0xa941e80> { URL: https://api.instagram.com/v1/users/602138059/relationships }     { status code: 404, headers {

I've not tested posting comments, but the post call does work in case of Likes.

I did face issues constructing the html body for the post requests. As it turned out, I was trying to set the Request Serializer to AFJSONRequestSerializer.

    self.operationManager.requestSerializer = [[AFJSONRequestSerializer alloc] init];

This caused it to create an json request body, whereas this property should have just been left alone to the default.

Please make sure you're NOT altering the default requestSerializer property.

Please fork this repo and commit your code into your fork. I can get it up and running and merge it with the main repo.

[nickthedude]

hey im not great with git, but i think i sent the right thing as a pull request. let me know i can try again.

[shyambhat]

Also, a lot of code has changed in the past couple of hours. Drastic changes to the Engine signatures to incorporate paging. Please use the latest code on master.

[nickthedude]

yes i agree the post call works in likes but i think there is something different about the relationship posting stuff, i think you may have to pass a json string or something. I used the instagram api console to do some testing :

I sent you an invite via skype

[wenwuwang]

nickthedude, have you made follow api work?

[nickthedude]

@wenwuwang no i haven't :( I think the request needs to be in JSON format, but im not sure.

i am also getting same error when we give parameters in NSDictionary. There is some problem in post request with parameters.

@shyambhat @nickthedude @iphonejaha @wenwuwang has anyone already found a solution?

[IngenieurinW]

this has something to do with the scope follow/unfollow must be included in the scope

[shyambhat]

It took me less than 10 mins to implement these simple endpoints. Check out the implementation in the "relationships" branch.

Will merge to master and release in the next version shortly.

[nickthedude]

I tried to tell you I sucked, lol. Thanks for fixing this dude. Next time you're In sf I owe you a beer. :)

[v0l0d]

I've just downloaded from git, launched demo, but it still doesn't work (like fails with the same error) :(

[driver733]

Is there any solution to this problem? I get the exact same error even for basic requests like "getSelfFeed"

[shyambhat]

@v0l0d you missed read Readme, maybe? For your app to POST or DELETE likes, comments or follows, you must apply to Instagram here : https://www.facebook.com/help/instagram/contact/185819881608116#

@driver733 try re-authenticating.
