Question

I am trying to get the media from instagram hashtag search api, i am getting the response correctly but i am unable to access the media object. it says

   "Unsupported get request. Object with ID '18001051678085904' does not 
     exist, cannot be loaded due to missing permissions, or does not support 
     this operation. Please read the Graph API documentation at 
    https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api",
    "type": "GraphMethodException",

Answer 1

you will need 2 id's to get it working.

1. hashtag id
2. page id(facebook graph: instagram business account id)

graph query explorer:

v3.1/hashtag_id/recent_media?fields=id,caption,like_count,media_type,media_url,permalink,comments_count&user_id=page_id;

URL to hit: https://graph.facebook.com/v3.1/hashtag_id/recent_media?access_token=access_token&fields=id,caption,like_count,media_type,media_url,permalink,comments_count&user_id=page_id;

Please note that you can either search for recent_media or top_media

Let me know if it solves the problem.
