Simple setup, you only need to complete first 3 steps.

Then go to Instagram> Basic Display> Instagram App ID field

This is going to give you an access_token, which one can be used on the new Graph Api, go to https://developers.facebook.com/docs/instagram-basic-display-api/guides/getting-profiles-and-media for docs.

For function component:

import React, { useState, useRef } from 'react';
import { View, Text, TouchableOpacity, StyleSheet } from 'react-native';
import InstagramLogin from 'react-native-instagram-login';
import CookieManager from '@react-native-community/cookies';

export default function App() {
  const insRef = useRef();
  const [token, setToken] = useState(null);

  const onClear = () => {
    CookieManager.clearAll(true)
      .then((res) => {
        setToken(null);
      });
  };

  return (
    <View style={{ flex: 1, justifyContent: 'center', alignItems: 'center' }}>
      <TouchableOpacity
        style={styles.btn}
        onPress={() => insRef.current.show()}>
        <Text style={{ color: 'white', textAlign: 'center' }}>Login now</Text>
      </TouchableOpacity>
      <TouchableOpacity
        style={[styles.btn, { marginTop: 10, backgroundColor: 'green' }]}
        onPress={onClear}>
        <Text style={{ color: 'white', textAlign: 'center' }}>Logout</Text>
      </TouchableOpacity>
      <Text style={{ margin: 10 }}>Token: {token?.access_token}</Text>
      <InstagramLogin
        ref={insRef}
        appId='your-app-id'
        appSecret='your-app-secret'
        redirectUrl='your-redirect-Url'
        scopes={['user_profile', 'user_media']}
        onLoginSuccess={(token) => setToken(token)}
        onLoginFailure={(data) => console.log(data)}
      />

Server side explicit: Discuss here

If you dont want to expose appSecret on the client, you dont need to pass appSecret props on client. And onLoginSuccess will callback a code.

On your server (Backend) you have to call an api https://api.instagram.com/oauth/access_token with method post to exchange the code for a token, and params:

client_id: your-app-id
client_secret: your-app-secret
grant_type: 'authorization_code'
redirect_uri: your-redirect-url
code: code-get-from-onLoginSuccess-props

For example

The response will look like this:

{
  "access_token": "IGQVJ...",
  "user_id": 17841405793187218
}

Logout

To logout use clear cookies by using https://github.com/react-native-community/cookies

import CookieManager from '@react-native-community/cookies';

  logout() {
    CookieManager.clearAll(true)
      .then((res) => {
        console.log('CookieManager.clearAll =>', res);
        this.setState({ token: '' })
      });
  }
