I've referred to this question Instagram API: The access_token provided is invalid, before posting this question myself.
My situation is quite similar, where I've just registered a new app yesterday, and it is now in Sandbox mode. I do understand that my access to instagram data is quite limited. However I've got no idea why even the simplest of request as below, I received error The access_token provided is invalid.
https://api.instagram.com/v1/users/self/?access_token=ACCESS-TOKEN
I'm quite certain that I'm doing this right, however just in case I'm doing it wrong. First I will need to login to my app with the below URL, where I would need to change to my own CLIENT-ID
and REDIRECT-URI
.
Upon successful login, it will redirect to my REDIRECT-URI
example: http://your-redirect-uri?code=CODE
I copy the generated CODE
and append with https://api.instagram.com/v1/users/self/?access_token=CODE, which it is returning me with The access_token provided is invalid.
Please correct me if I'm doing it wrong.
