Add CreateFromClientId method to InstagramService class.

[abjerner]

The InstagramService class can currently only be initialized by calling either CreateFromAccessToken(string accessToken) or CreateFromOAuthClient(InstagramOAuthClient client).

Since it is possible to use a client ID instead of an access token, a CreateFromClientId(string clientId) method should be implemented as well.

Fixed and will be a part of the next release :D

Hi, according to the current Instagram API docs, all requests require an access_token. Using this method passes a client_id for subsequent requests and throws an invalid access_token exception. Is this method of authentication now deprecated by instagram?

Hi Graham,

To my knowledge it should still work, but I will look into whether Instagram has changed something that affects this.

However not all methods in the API support using a client ID. What API methods are you trying to call?

Hi - even the one to retrieve media from a known user requires an access_token:

Then it might be due to this update although they don't write so explicitly.

Just to confirm. This is due to a change by Instagram. If you register a new app, you will automatically be limited by the new "rules", which among other things mean that you can't use a client ID.

I you have an old app - that is registered before the 17th of November, you will still follow the old rules, which means you can continue to use the client ID as before - at least until June 2016.

New apps should also be submitted for review before they can be used by your users. I have only just skimmed the details about the new changes. Maybe you will still be able to use your client ID once your app has been approved.
