I want to know if someone could already do something like this, because the new Instagram basic display API is kind of different. Thanks in advance
I've been working in a Ionic 3 app, which authenticated users with Instagram API. But now Instagram API is no longer working, and was migrated to Facebook.
With the new API, Facebook no longer allows users to authenticate into an app using the Instagram Basic Display API, and the Graph API for Businesses and Creators requires a Facebook token.
I suppose they now want you to only use the Facebook auth flow to authenticate your users for your app, and then have them log in again to Instagram for Basic Display after your primary authentication.
"Data returned by the API cannot be used to authenticate your app
users or log them into your app. If you need an authentication
solution we recommend using Facebook Login instead."
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/instagram-basic-display-api
&
"All endpoint requests must include a Facebook User access token."

Lately I started looking into PoC with Auth0 for our use case where we want to allow users to login with Google and Facebook, also want Guest user to login and access our API and once guest user choose to login with Google and Facebook then we can link guest user so that their data will be served once logout.
Here's the things which I am to able to do till now with PoC:
Able to Login with Google and Facebook through client App.
Access authenticated API after getting bearer token from client App.
Things which still need to do, I tried to search but couldn't found good resource:
I want user to login as Guest user and latter if they want they can login with Google/FB and link their account.
Also, I am looking into Rest login API in Auth0 so that we can hit login API after getting access token from Google/FB and register user into Auth0 and get the token for API access.
It would be great if anyone help me on above two points. Thanks!
I registered with Facebook Developer and set up my instagram app but I am not sure where to find my client id...I can see my App ID, my Instagram App ID and my Client Secret but there is nothing with my "client id" listed. Are one of these actually my client id? Do I need to sign up for something more then Instagram Basic Display API?
Is there any documentation breaking down what each of these IDs are used for?
I am not finding any in either of these documentations: https://www.instagram.com/developer/authentication/ or https://developers.facebook.com/docs/instagram-basic-display-api/
The old Instagram API used Client ID. For the new Instagram Graph API, you only need the Instagram App ID and Secret App Id.
You redirect to Instagram using your Instagram App ID.
Once the user authorizes your app, Instagram will redirect back to your app.
You use your Instagram App ID, Secret App ID, and the code Instagram sends you after the redirect to get a token.
You use the token to get the user's photos, etc.
Twitter API allows to update "the authenticating user’s current status", as explained in the documentation page.
What I'd like to achieve instead is to update another user's current status. Consider a magazine's twitter account. I'd like different people to be able to update the magazine's status. Tweetdeck allows this, but it also allows a whole lot of other things like access to Direct Messages. I only want to provide certain authenticated users an interface (similar to Twitter's post-a-tweet interface) to post status and images to the shared account.
I could not find a simple explanation of how to use Twitter API to achieve the above functionality. Could someone please help?
If you have an app that implements the status update API and it is delivered to different people and they authorize the app with the magazine's twitter account, then the app will update that status. I can show an example also with code if this is what you're asking. However the main point is that, once a user has authorized the app, she/he doesn't need to be connected with the shared login any longer because the app will do that on the magazine's behalf.
BTW, similar question here: Twitter API: post on behalf of whom?
Edit
Just to summarize the comments:
The standard OAuth authentication requires the following main steps
1) to develop an app (registered with OAuth consumer key and secret) that implements the API update status 2) to install and authorize the app: during this step the onwer will be requested to enter the credentials of the passive account in a Twitter link opened with the browser, 3) then - after a fallback - the app will store the access token and any user of the app will be able to update the status without login
Once you have developed an app that can post tweets on behalf of a passive twitter account using the standard OAuth, you could make that functionality available to the authenticated users of a website.
All of the authentication features I see for the Instagram API make the user "allow access" to your app by redirecting them. I have seen several apps that let the user login directly, can someone please enlighten me on how they are doing this?
If the app uses Instagram's authentication, it first redirects to instagram login page and you have to enter username/password, and then it will show a page to allow access, after this it will redirect to the application.
But some apps directly ask for username/password from their UI, these apps store your password, and use it to authenticate using a automated devices running Instagram, so they can post pictures on your behalf, the reason they do this is cause there is no API for posting pic, the only way apps can post pics is by collecting username/password and then posting pics using automated devices. This is risky, never give your username/password. Doing this is against the terms and condition. Only login if the login screen looks like Instagram login page.
i want to develop an android app using youtube API 3.
It is necessary that the user who will be using the app has to login with his/her gmail credentials to actually view a video?
Or just registering the app here https://developers.google.com/youtube/registering_an_application is fine and the user watching the video or using the app need not login to his/her gmail account.
It is necessary that the user who will be using the app has to login with his/her gmail credentials to actually view a video?
No. Authentication via OAuth is only necessary if your application requires access to "private user data". Simply viewing a video does not meet those requirements.
