How can I get "min_tag_id" to get a list of recently tagged media from instagram api


I have just use the below link considering the official documentation.

https://api.instagram.com/v1/tags/{tag-name}/media/recent?access_token=ACCESS-TOKEN

But, even if I dont use max_tag_id/min_tag_id as a parameter, it returns the error message :

 {"pagination": {"deprecation_warning": "next_max_id and min_id are deprecated for this endpoint; use min_tag_id and max_tag_id instead"}, "meta": {"code": 200}, "data": []}

How can I get the max_tag_id/min_tag_id to be able to get a list of tagged media ?

I have also used the link giving a random number for min_tag_id like this:

https://api.instagram.com/v1/tags/snowy/media/recent?access_token=272673723.8eadebe.2243d71d379541118c9f24bc221a99e5&min_tag_id=10

It gives me the below error message :

"error_message": "min_id must not be a media id."

How can I get the media ids to use min_tag_id ? My main problem is get the tagged media from instagram api. But It sucks.

My status is Sandbox Mode.


Solution

  • You can only access lastest 20 posts in sandbox mode, one u go to live mode, you will see pagination data with min_tag_id and max_tag_id

    The behavior of the API when you are in sandbox mode is the same as when your app is live, but comes with the following restrictions:

    • Data is restricted to sandbox users and the 20 most recent media from each sandbox user
    • Reduced API rate limits
