How to use Facebook API to read Instagram user

I tried using the Graph API Explorer to read an Instagram user.

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

I selected each permission to create an access token. In addition, I linked my Instagram account to my Facebook account. However, the response still displays as “Unsupported Receive Request”.

Can anybody help? Thanks.

Facebook has just released a new version of its graphical API (v2.10), which now contains the new Instagram API , which has new permissions that should allow you to read the Instagram user.

  • instagram_basic

  • instagram_manage_comments (optional)

  • instagram_manage_insights (optional)

However, these permissions are currently limited to Instagram business users who also have a Facebook business account with an associated account.

While the documentation describes this feature, I assume that they removed it when they revised the Instagram API and significantly limited functionality back in June 2016.

if you try to get the name of the user who posted the comment, which you can get when you get the comment via the media api * see the "note" section here: instagram user
