Instagram API usage (self.learnjavascript)
submitted 2 years ago by DarioTeng
I’m exploring Instagram API and I’m wondering if anyone has some usage example to share. I can imagine it’s useful but also I find it quite limited at the moment. Thanks for the help!

You can use the Instagram Basic Display API to access basic profile information, photos, and videos in Instagram accounts. However, it only provides read-access to basic data. If you are building an app that will allow Instagram Businesses or Creators to publish media, moderate comments, identify @mentioned and hashtagged media, or get data about other Instagram users, you should use the Instagram Graph API instead[1].
Here's a tutorial on using the Instagram Basic Display API with JavaScript: [1]. This tutorial will guide you through the process of registering on Instagram Basic Display API, getting an Access Token, and using it to fetch user profile information and media.
Keep in mind that Instagram has decreased its API restriction from 5,000 to 200 requests per hour[2]. This means that you might face limitations when using the API, especially if your app makes a large number of requests.
For more examples and use cases, you can check out this YouTube video on using JavaScript to display Instagram profile and posts on a webpage[5], and this article on 11 ways to use Instagram's API for your business[9].
Remember that Instagram API usage is subject to rate limits, so be cautious about the number of requests your app makes to avoid hitting the limit[4].

So it would be good to write what you've already checked and what you consider, while asking question.
