So I'm trying to get Instagram photos that fit certain parameters and I'm getting the following stack:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "instagram_find_shows.py", line 83, in <module>

raise InstagramAPIError(status_code, content_obj['meta']['error_type'], content_obj['meta']['error_message'])
instagram.bind.InstagramAPIError: (400) OAuthPermissionsException-This request requires scope=public_content, but this access token is not authorized with this scope. The user must re-authorize your application with scope=public_content to be granted this permissions.
The code is as follows:
def get_instagram_posts(name, time, coordinates):
max_time_dt = time + timedelta(hours=3)
min_time_dt = time - timedelta(hours=1)
max_time = str(calendar.timegm(max_time_dt.timetuple()))
min_time = str(calendar.timegm(min_time_dt.timetuple()))
dist_rad_str = str(insta_dist_radius_m)
count_str = str(insta_count)
api = InstagramAPI(access_token=insta_access_token,
client_secret=insta_client_secret)
r = api.media_search(name, count_str, str(coordinates[0]),
str(coordinates[1]), min_time, max_time)
photos = []
for media in r:
photos.append('<img src="%s"/>' % media.images['thumbnail'].url)
print(photos[0])
I can't figure out what to do... Literally I'm just trying to do a simple test, not trying to cripple their API. Is there any way to do this within Instagram's parameters? Thanks so much!
Fixed by going to the following URL in the browser:
