Instagram relationship endpoint that modify the relationship with target user

I'm developing an app that uses instagram API, when I'm trying to follow or doing other action to another user programmatically with POST method 

https://api.instagram.com/v1/users/{user-id}/relationship?access_token=ACCESS-TOKEN

the response is 

This action is invalid. Please supply a valid action from the following: follow, unfollow, approve, ignore, block, unblock

P.S:

  • the other user already added in sandbox mode

  • scope used are : [.basic,.followerList,.publicContent,.relationships] and access tocken and user id are tested and valid

  • I'm using this library https://github.com/AnderGoig/SwiftInstagram to avoid handling http requests and this library added the action parameter with 'follow' correctly with post method

Solution

  • If anybody face the problem, the solution is to send the action parameter in the body not in url, I'm using the library like I said so I thought it's ok but when testing it with postman and send the parameter in body it returns the result as expected
