I am wondering if this is simply feasible or FB/Insta does not allow this use case...
I have a community that is ready to share content by posting it on Instagram and tagging media/post/referencing my business account.
Is it possible in my backend while using the Instagram Graph API:
to get notified about any post mentioning my business account
to retrieve consequently posted content to grant points subsequently on my platform?
I am speaking about a competition where users get points by sharing useful content traced back by my platform
Any informed feedback welcome!

https://developers.google.com/business-communications/business-messages/guides/how-to/agents?method=api
I am following these steps:
Login with google business account in the Dashboard
App taking multiple permissions as I have attached the permissions list and taking the auth token.
Open the chat box for the Business.
So please guide me, where i am going wrong. What is correct way to implement this.
Requirement:
I want to create a custom chat box for google businesses, Where business owner will login into the web app and He can easily manage the multiple business chats in one dashboard.
As per your given information, you have to be a partner of Google. As per google documentation, you need to be a partner of google and then you can create the agent and can send and receive messages. You can integrate the business messages API by following this documentation:
https://developers.google.com/business-communications/business-messages/guides
In this process, you need to be a partner of Google. The complete process is given on the link. If you follow this link, then you can use their built-in libraries easily and can send messages easily.
So far the permission for API, it might not be found for you because you might have to take permission for the particular project that is registered on google and then you will see the business messages API and you can enable it and use it. The reason as per the basic step:
https://developers.google.com/my-business/content/basic-setup
Sometimes, you have to submit the request form to take the API access for particular APIs. Or Share how are you using that API.
If you do not find a form for business messages API then you can ask for the information from bm-support#google.com. they mostly respond on a working day.
My team and I are looking to add to our app several features of the Linkedin API that are currently restricted. In order of importance to us:
Find Profile by VanityName
Webhooks
Video UGC Post
We already quite understand that Webhooks and Video UGC Post are REALLY restricted. What about the first one?
In general, how can we get in contact with the right people to get such approvals? Nowhere it is mentioned that we cannot apply, just that it is restricted.
We are very happy to work with Linkedin requirements, whatever they are.
Thanks.
Thibault Drevon,
CTO of bobcaat.
To be able to find profile by VanityName with LinkedIn API you need to become a LinkedIn Partner.
First you need to create an application https://www.linkedin.com/developer/apps
Once you've created an "application" you can then apply to become a LinkedIn partner. To apply go to https://developer.linkedin.com/partner-programs/apply
LinkedIn's Business Development team will review all applications and will endeavour to respond to you within 15 days.
I wanted to create video or picture posts on behalf of an authenticated user (i have their access token after they logged in to my using instagram credentials) on a future time.
For example, user creates a video post tonight, and schedules it to be posted tomorrow at 7AM.
Is this possible?
I know there are companies out there like hootsuite that claim to allow to schedule posts for social media account but i've never used them and i want to create cloud service, so an SDK or API is what I'm looking for.
Their developer portal is very vague so i wanted to ask the community for some direction.
Facebook (owns instagram) has documentation on how to share feed post from your app to instagram, but it still requires the instagram app to open and for the user to tap/click the submit button.
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/instagram/sharing-to-feed/
any insights in the right direction is appreciated.
I have written an app which notifies users when someone make them unfollow (As like as any other apps in this area). Then, I got my app approved by Instagram. After six/seven attempts, they don't approve the app till now. I followed their instructions as feedback and fixed any probable privacy problem which my app might have. But I didn't get any bright answer from them as far.
I throw my app on the following use case:
My product helps brands and advertisers understand, manage their
audience and media rights.
And I wrote my API use cases as follows:
Thank you for considering our request to approve our application. The
required information for enabling live mode for our application is
explained in the following lines:
Q1: How your app does use the Instagram API?
First of all, our user (i.e. brands or advertisers) selects the “Unfollow Finder Service” on our application.
We redirect the user to Instagram login page, as indicated in API documentation, to authorize his account to accessing required scopes.
i. Note that we already told the user everything that we are going to
use.
We tend to call follow APIs whenever the authorized user clicks a button in our application.
Ultimately, we inform the authorized user with the information obtained from step 3.
Q2: How does it fall into one of the approved use cases?
The list of users who recently unfollowed/followed an
Instagram account are definitely crucial and beneficial for the brands
and advertisers on Instagram. In this way, they can get feedback
implicitly from their customers. Our service help them to manage their
audiences and provide better content for them. So, according to Q1,
our use case falls into “My product helps brands and advertisers
understand, manage their audience and media rights.” We never violate
the approved scopes and Instagram's privacy.
Q3: Who will be using your app?
In our region, lots of brands and businesses utilize
Instagram to publish their content. They are the users of our service
and can use it to improve their relation with their audiences. Kind
regards,
As you see, I'm trying to tell them everything in detail. But in my last submission, they declined me with the following feedback:
General issues:
Policy Violation ("Like", "Follow", "Comment" Exchange Program): Your
app shouldn't participate, enable or promote any “like”, “share”,
“comment” or “follower” exchange programs. In working to build a high
quality platform experience, we ask that you comply with our Platform
Policy (http://wwww.instagram.com/about/legal/terms/api/).
I just want permission on follower_list scope from them. The surprising part is that they noted me with almost irrelevant feedback. It seems that they do not want to approve my app at all.
Do I violate their privacy?
Does anyone face this problem? How can I fix it and had my app approved?
Sorry for asking this question here since I almost googled entire web (+Stackoverflow) and find no helpful answer. All of my previous attempts were gone away.
Thanks in advance.
So as of now Instagram changed the policy and now i can't create an access token with relationships+likes scope. But third party apps like Crowdfire still work. On official Instagram page they said that only third party apps that will receive the privilege of advanced scope are the apps that Instagram itself approved. Anyone had any experience filing the application for approval? Or can you guys give me tips of how to bypass that.
p.s.
I have an app that creates multiple access_tokens for different client, nothing spammy, just likes the feed of users and automatically follows people that followed them. (yeah, some people are into that) And mass unfollow (idk if thats bad or not)
