Today I had an idea. I want to make a light switch on when I get a new follower on my Instagram account.
I know some APIs to switch on the light, but I'm looking for a way to get notified on new followers. So I searched on Instagram documentation but I only found webhooks for mentions and stories.
Do you know if there is a web to get notified on a new follower to call the light API?
Instagram does not provide a webhook endpoint for follower events. It provides support for changes to the comments, mentions, and story_insights fields as described here.
The link has changed and the new link for the documentation on this is here:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/instagram-api/guides/webhooks#step-1--create-an-endpoint-and-configure-the-webhooks-product
But dmulter is right, they don't seem to have this ability. you can make webhooks for comments, mentions, and story insights
also you can get webhooks on instagram messages through facebook messenger api. here is some documentation on this: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/messenger-platform/webhook#events
Try to look at Webhooks. I’m using webhooks to get notifications about new like on my facebook page. Instagram has webhooks to. But I didn’t read the documentation.

I'm writting a new post, because all of topics that was related with getting Instagram Direct message via API are a little bit old.
Do anyone knows if there is a possibility of GET Direct Messages via API or in some programatically way?
Right now, it doesn't look like you can. The Instagram Graph API docs don't mention direct messages at all. The old Instagram API never had this.
Take a look to the Component InstagramApiSharp, it contains this functionnality. There are some actions that you can built for the direct message with it.
I'm using default Instagram API, but when I try to fetch comments on posts, I'm getting a response with data empty, even when I know that there are comments on the post.
https://www.instagram.com/developer/endpoints/comments/
So when I tried to report it, it told me to migrate to Instagram Graph API. I searched, its look it's for personal use for business, I was building a raffle website helper, randomly pick a winner from a comment, and this broke my project.

So I'm confused because when I access Instagram Developer website says to gonna to new Instagram Graph API, but here, I got a message that it's just for business accounts, but I already have registered my app with "facebook login" like the links you have sent to me
See demo what I'm building: https://youtu.be/DmVN5t0dRaY

This is deprecated by Instagram. It's not really telling you to use the Graph API, it's saying that this is the way they are going and the Graph API is intended for business that want to maintain their own page and interact more successfully with Instagram users.
Instagram still offers an endpoint
GET /users/self/media/recent
That should suit your needs.
Hi, I want to get the user list in one Twitter post as picture shown. but I didn't find the API which I can get this kind of data on Twitter. Is there anyone know how can I get this data. Thanks
The official API does not include that functionality.
You will find that there are lots of actions which are available on the official website & apps which are not allowed in the API.
Sorry.
How can I edit my profile picture on Instagram using the Instagram API? I've reviewed the API documentation but haven't found anything. I'm using C# .NET, also downloaded "InstaSharp" but can't figure it out.
With the current Instagram API (v1) this not possible. There are only 3 POST methods to modify data and those are for Relationships, Likes, and Comments.
If you are not committed to instasharp, this may have been asked and answered: Instagram API using Json.net
The answer uses json2csharp (http://json2csharp.com/), but from there it looks like it would be a breeze to just set User.profile_picture.
I see that Google started to offer some alpha API.
Is there any way to post something in Google+ using Google+ API? If not the same way as for Facebook and Facebook SDK, at least something similar.
I would like to implement it in a native iOS/Android code.
No. I expect that similar to how there is no way to implement a Like via an API, there will never be an API to allow sending a +1 via an API. It is expected and intended to only ever be done by direct action by a user, NOT something that can be manipulated by a programmer to artificially inflate their rankings.
