I'm trying to follow a user-id in Instagram using the codes below, but it always return 404 error.My app is not in sandbox mode
public void doFollow(string userid)
{
NameValueCollection parameters = new NameValueCollection();
parameters.Add("access_token", ACCESS_TOKEN);
WebClient client = new WebClient();
string url = "https://api.instagram.com/v1/users/" + userid + "/follow";
//404 error happens in the next line
var result = client.UploadValues(url, "POST",parameters);
var response = System.Text.Encoding.Default.GetString(result);
var jsResult = (JObject)JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(response);
string incomStats = (string)jsResult["incoming_status"];
}
According to the Instagram API documentation the endpoint is
https://api.instagram.com/v1/users/{user-id}/relationship
and you pass in a parameter of "ACTION=follow".
