How to get images using Instagram API


How to get users images from Instagram API?

access_token=4049241557.1677ed0.5324ad17d9314645b528ad112da8d56e

But no success, it's giving me only user info. How can I get images using Instagram API?


Solution

  • Use this API:

    https://api.instagram.com/v1/users/self/media/recent?access_token={access-token}
    

    This will get your photos,(but it looks like from the access_token you have posted, that user does not have any photos posted, so it will return empty array)

    Use this to get other user's photo:

    https://api.instagram.com/v1/users/{user-id}/media/recent?access_token={access-token}
    

    you should have authenticated with public_content scope and if you are in sandbox mode, only sandbox users can be accessed until your app is reviewed and live
