Login Via Instagram no longer available

    I tried to use your instruction to set up authorization via Instagram.
    But I couldn’t locate “Instagram product”. There is only “Instagram Basic Display product”.
    I tried to use it but it works only for users who was added as a testers.
    But I found this paragraph in app’s page:

    “Instagram Basic Display allows apps to access the Instagram Basic Display API, which provides readonly access to basic data in app users Instagram accounts.Use this tab to configure the APIs authorization window so you can get permissions from users, and to submit your app for App Review when you are ready to switch it to Live Mode.Note that Basic Display is not an authentication tool. Data returned by the API cannot be used to authenticate your app users or log them into your app. If your app uses API data to authenticate users, it will be rejected during App Review. If you need an authentication solution, use Facebook Login instead.”

    Could you please clarify, do I understand right that there is no more way to use login via Instagram at all and you have to disable this option in the next version of your plugin?

  • Hello there,

    Thank you for reaching out to us.

    Yes, you’re correct.

    Because Instagram’s authentication process has been disabled by Instagram only so the SSO will not be supported by the Instagram Basic Display API for the time being, although the Instagram Basic Display API does allow for it. Instagram users may access their basic personal information, images, and videos through the app.

    Your app will be denied if it uses API data to authenticate users.
    So, if you want to authenticate users, I recommend using Facebook or any other provider.

    For now, we have implemented the Instagram Login where you can assign anyone as an Instagram tester for your application and then log in with the same account.

    Thanks
