Using API in Sandbox Mode on Commercial Website

I would like to display our photos posted on Instagram on our commercial web site using Instagram API.

  1. I think that Sandbox Mode is sufficient because the number of pictures we want to display is 20 or less, but is there a regulations problem in using Sandbox for use on a commercial websites?
  2. Also, is it necessary to switch to Live Mode?
Solution

  • Officially Instagram says

    You do not need to submit for review for this use case. If you are a developer and you want to display Instagram content on your website, then you do not need to submit your app for review. By using a client in sandbox mode, you can still access the last 20 media of any sandbox user that grants you permission.

    So actually no need to go Live mode.

    P.S. Here is the link to all cases.
