Facebook api – How to use Facebook Graph API to read Instagram user

I tried to use Graph API Explorer to read an Instagram user.

Visit https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/instagram-user/

I ticked every permission to generate the access token. Also, I linked my Instagram account to Facebook account. However, response still showed as ‘Unsupported get request’.

graph api explorer output

Anyone can help? Thanks.

    While the documentation does describe this feature, my guess is that they removed it when they revised the Instagram API and significantly limited the functionality back in June of 2016.

    Facebook has just released a new version of their graph API (v2.10) that now contains a new Instagram API that has new permissions that should allow you to read an Instagram user.

    • instagram_basic

    • instagram_manage_comments (optional)

    • instagram_manage_insights (optional)

    However, these permissions are currently limited to Instagram business users that also have a Facebook business account with an ad account linked to it.
