Get instagram ID from facebook graph API without manage_pages permission

I’m creating an app that’s using facebook login to get instagram follower insights. Currently I’ve followed and and successfully made the soloution written here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/instagram-api/getting-started/

But here’s the problem. Facebook won’t approve the “manage_pages” permission for my app. Without manage_pages I have no idea how to get the instagram account id.

I’ve tried for a couple of weeks now, and facebook won’t give any explanation other than “This permission is not required for your app’s intended function, or it doesn’t appear to enhance the user experience” and then referencing this https://developers.facebook.com/docs/facebook-login/permissions

I currently have a facebook support ticket regarding the issue but they haven’t replied for almost 2 weeks. And I’m getting a little desperate.

Using below URL for version 3.0 and 3.2 to get the instagram accounts – It works with “manage_permissions” but without it the response is empty.
