As per below change log url - users/self/media/recent API is deprecated

Reference url is https://www.instagram.com/developer/changelog/

In our application we had used https://api.instagram.com/v1/users/self/media/recent/?access_token=ACCESS-TOKEN API and it is still working.

For other application I want to get recent post of Regular Instagram account using parameter like:

  • MAX_ID Return media earlier than this max_id.

  • MIN_ID Return media later than this min_id.

  • COUNT Count of media to return.

I tried this existing deprecated API url, it returns recent 20 posts but with MIN_ID and MAX_ID parameter API is returning recent 20 posts. May it's because API deprecated or my account is in Sandbox mode.

So what is the possible alternate to fetch Regular Instagram account's recent user posts?

The users/self/media/recent endpoint was not deprecated. The users/{user_id}/media/recent endpoint is the one that has been deprecated.

For the 20 post limit, yes, that would be because your account is in Sandbox mode.
