Which Instagram API endpoints don't require an access token?

Question

Some instagram api endpoints are accessible with a client id, e.g.:

https://api.instagram.com/v1/media/search?lat=48.858844&lng=2.294351&client_id=CLIENT-ID

works, but some endpoints don't, e.g.:

https://api.instagram.com/v1/media/popular?client_id=CLIENT-ID

In the documentation, both endpoints appear to require an access token, listed as:

https://api.instagram.com/v1/media/search?lat=48.858844&lng=2.294351&access_token=ACCESS-TOKEN

and

https://api.instagram.com/v1/media/popular?access_token=ACCESS-TOKEN

Is there any way I can find out which endpoints work with a client id in place of the access token?

Answer 1

Please note that beginning November 17th 2015, the Instagram API has changed so that now all API requests require an access token.
