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 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!
wish all of the best for you
do me a favor please?
i wanna analyze the media with specific hashtag on instagram, there are many website do that like Keyhole or iconosquare
as i know with 2 type of API, instagram analytics site do that (instagram graph api facebook and instagram platform api)
but as i search in instagram graph api facebook graph there is no option to analyze hashtag and as i search in instagram platform api i read detail about permission as below :
basic - to read a user’s profile info and media
public_content - to read any public profile info and media on a user’s behalf (applications no longer accepted)
follower_list - to read the list of followers and followed-by users (applications no longer accepted)
comments - to post and delete comments on a user’s behalf (applications no longer accepted)
relationships - to follow and unfollow accounts on a user’s behalf (applications no longer accepted)
likes - to like and unlike media on a user’s behalf (applications no longer accepted)
if we wanna analyze via instagram api, we have to gain public_content permission but instagram write (application no longer accepted)
what shall i do know for that?
Instagram stopped giving permission other than basic_profile , so you won't get permission for release and can use only in sandbox mode.
it's waste of time now to use Instagram api.
I want to pull likes and comments from any account that I specify. Can this be done with the Instagram API or do you have to have the accounts permissions to pull this info.
Essentially I want to be able to analyze this data without having log in credentials for the account.
Thanks!
Following the June 2016 changes to the API, you will need to invite the other users to be "Sandbox Users" of your API client. And even then, the access will be limited to their last 20 posts. Here's a quick explanation of the new Instagram API rules.
TL;DR
Sandbox users are other Instagram users that you “invite” to your
client. The main reason to do this is so that your app will then be
able to “see” their last twenty posts in addition to your own. In
other words, when they accept the invitation, they show up on the tiny
desert island where your app lives.
So you don't need their actual login credentials, but they do need to accept your invitation in order for it to work. The only other alternative is getting your app through the submission process to "go live" but there are very few use cases which they will accept anymore.
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)
I have been trying to post on user's wall from my application. Even I am completed with facebook, Linkedin, Twitter. What I did is after authorising properly from these application I finally saved its token. And with that I did to post it on their wall if they are posting on my application.
Now continuing with that I want same with Google+. Though I am completed with Google+ authorisation and saved token in my DB. How can I post on Google+ on their wall or on my profile page with it. Or In google terms how can I share on user's stream.
I have tried to create box on my page and on clicking that popup window open to post on G+. What I want is if user is registered than It automatically goes to its stream not in conventional button clicking way what they have provided.
Is that Possible ??
The Google+ API does not give you write access to the user's stream.
Instead you should use:
- app activities: https://developers.google.com/+/features/app-activities if you want to surface the user's actions across Google
- Share plugin: https://developers.google.com/+/web/share/ for user-initiated sharing
- Interactive posts: https://developers.google.com/+/features/interactive-posts for user-initiated sharing with an explicit call-to-action and deeplinking on mobile platforms
