Hi,
Instagram widget stopped working. As far as I see, you call to a url like https://www.instagram.com/username/?__a=1 which is https://www.instagram.com/dilekita/?__a=1 in my case.
When I visit this link manually in a browser it works and respond with json or sth else.
However, while going from your code it responds with 302 and redirects to a login page.
Please note that the widget in your demo is also broken further more.
Hello,
Instagram APIs have been changed and restricted considerably. Consider using the updated js/plugins.min.js File with this one: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1vconePqhxq48GsF1GvQ75GGzgBiqConM/view?usp=sharing .
Follow steps 1 - 3 here: Facebook Basic Display API guide.
Use the User Token Generator to create a starting access token.
Then add the following code in the HTML File just after the js/plugins.min.js JS File Linking:
[ch_pre]var scwInstagramToken = 'your-access-token';[/ch_pre]
This should work fine for now. But this is strictly experimental and we are thinking about removing the Instagram Widget from the Future versions of Canvas as the Instagram APIs are now heavily restricted.
Hope this Helps!
