InstAuth (Deprecated)

Authentication client for Instagram API.

About

Want to start using Instagram API right away, but don't know how to get an acсess token? Here is a simple tool that let's you do that. Particularly useful when building an app in a Sandbox mode.

Features

• Running in the browser
• Scope support
• Implicit authentication only

Getting started

Important: this client works for implicit authentication only. This type of authentication is not as secure as server-side and therefore is disabled by default.

If you still want to continue using it, you need to enable implicit OAuth in your app's settings page

Install

• Clone the repo
• Run simple http server (e.g. python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8080)
• Make sure client is running in the browser http://localhost:8080/

How to use

• Go to your app's settings page, open Security tab
• Add URI of a client to Valid redirect URIs text field (in our case http://localhost:8080/)
• Make sure implicit OAuth is enabled. Copy Client ID from the same page
• Go back to the client
• Paste Client ID and submit
• Enjoy having your access token

Using deployed client

• Add https://instauth.netlify.com/ to Valid redirect URIs text field in your app's Security settings
• Make sure implicit OAuth is enabled.
• Go to https://instauth.netlify.com/
• Submit Client ID
