Sign Up and get Follow List With Instagram Still Allowed?

In my project I want to implement a sign up with Instagram and a get user's follow list feature. However, on the Instagram developer website under login permission it says under public content and follower list that "applications no longer accepted". Does this mean that I can no longer implement these features?enter image description here

Solution

  • For security reasons, a lot of Instagram API access was removed in 2016. You can read more about it here: http://uk.businessinsider.com/instagram-made-a-change-that-stopped-lots-of-third-party-apps-from-working-2016-6/?IR=T. This was to increase customer privacy.
