Allowed to upload videos using Instagram API?

In accordance with Instagram instructions Instagram allows you to download the API only for images (JPG, PNG).

A new iPhone app called Cinamatic allows users to upload videos to Instagram after logging in to Instagram through Cinamatic.

Is video upload allowed through the Instagram API? There is no mention in public documentation.

Accordingly , there may be an option for a white list of developers who have access to download videos through the API. Any ideas?

Currently loading via API is not possible.

following reasons:

Instagram - about your life on the go - we hope to encourage photos from the app. We want to fight spam and low quality photos.

Once we allow downloads from other sources, it’s more difficult to control what is included in the Instagram ecosystem. All this suggests that we are working to provide users with a constant and high-quality experience on our platform.

These are obviously old questions and all the answers are also old. Things have changed quite dramatically over the past 4 years. The Instagram API has never offered to publish content and never will. In fact, the Instagram API is currently on the way out. Just go to https://www.instagram.com/developer/ and you will receive a notification about this.

At the beginning of 2018, the Facebook Graph API began offering images on Instagram, but you need to convert your Instagram profile into a business profile, which just means connecting it to your Facebook page. At the end of 2018, video support was added to Facebook.

Bottom line - today it is absolutely possible to publish videos and images on Instagram: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/instagram-api/content-publishing

Caution - you cannot easily access this feature. It is available for select applications only. You can try to become a Facebook partner: https://www.facebook.com/business/marketing-partners/become-a-partner - although this is a lengthy process.

While you are working on this, feel free to check out our Instagram posting API: https://concretesocial.io (yes, I'm one of the authors).
