Tell HN: Instagram's API has broken, support tickets ignored, status page green
5 by PeledYuval | 3 comments on Hacker News.
Meta offers an OAuth based API for Instagram. Many companies and tools are built on and rely on this API for their product & daily operations. Beginning Friday evening (US time), a critical endpoint in this API has broken. The endpoint creates long-lived access tokens, so it is in the critical path for almost any company using the API. I find it disappointing that a leading technological company does not acknowledge a bug that's been reported to them several times more than 24 hours ago, even if to say that's it's being investigated. The endpoint: https://ift.tt/lSxNgce Currently the API returns a Bad Request with a wrong error message (the endpoint should support "GET"): ``` { "message": "Unsupported request - method type: get", "type": "IGApiException", "code": 100, "fbtrace_id": "AuDYqK74IrT9Yt2Sx51UlP6" } ``` I have opened a bug report but received no response.
