Instagram API permission decline

Question

I have got the access token for the Instagram API but when I try to access the endpoints of tag with this url: https://api.instagram.com/v1/tags/kuwait/media/recent?access_token=my-access-token*******

It shows:

{"meta": {"error_type": "OAuthPermissionsException", "code": 400, "error_message": "This request requires scope=public_content, but this access token is not authorized with this scope. The user must re-authorize your application with scope=public_content to be granted this permissions."}}

How do I fix this?

I am not building a full app just wanted to add some features in my project.

Answer 1

your error is You Want to get public_content but your app don't have permission to get public_content.

so solution to your problem is re-authorize your application with scope=public_content as error describe.

https://www.instagram.com/oauth/authorize/?client_id=CLIENT_ID&redirect_uri=REDIRECT_URL&response_type=code&scope=basic+public_content+follower_list+comments+relationships+likes

so just add scope=public_content as i suggest
