I’m trying to access to Media use hashtag from the Instagram API using their authenticated access token.returns empty data. I’m using this URL: https://api.instagram.com/v1/media/{tag name}?access_token={verified access token} and this is the result I’m receiving: {"pagination": {}, "meta": {"code": 200}, "data": []} Because it has a 200 return code, the access token is valid. So why don’t I see any liked posts? i added another user in sandbox users but so returns empty data. What to do? please help me!
[my C# code]
static string code = string.Empty;
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(Request["code"]) && !Page.IsPostBack)
{
code = Request["code"];
GetDataInstagramToken();
}
}
public void GetDataInstagramToken()
{
var json = "";
try
{
NameValueCollection parameters = new NameValueCollection();
parameters.Add("client_id", ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["client_id"]);
parameters.Add("client_secret", ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["client_secret"]);
parameters.Add("grant_type", "authorization_code");
parameters.Add("redirect_uri", ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["redirect_uri"]);
parameters.Add("code", code);
WebClient client = new WebClient();
var result = client.UploadValues("https://api.instagram.com/oauth/access_token", "POST", parameters);
var response = System.Text.Encoding.Default.GetString(result);
var jsResult = (JObject)JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(response);
string accessToken = (string)jsResult["access_token"];
Int64 id = Convert.ToInt64(jsResult["user"]["id"]);
var clientid = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["client_id"];
Page.ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(this.GetType(), "GetToken", "<script>var ClientId=\"" + @"" + clientid + "" + "\";var instagramaccessid=\"" + @"" + id + "" + "\"; var instagramaccesstoken=\"" + @"" + accessToken + "" + "\";</script>");
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
throw;
}
my js code function GetSearchMedia() {
var seachText = document.getElementById('Search').value;
$.ajax({
type: "GET",
async: true,
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
url: 'https://api.instagram.com/v1/tags/' + seachText + '/media/recent?access_token=' + instagramaccesstoken,

for (var i = 0; i < data["data"].length; i++) {
