Change over From Instagram Brings new Error

[LoganArnett]

Been using this package for a few weeks now, everything had been working just fine, but as of the updates today to the Instagram API I have a new error:

This client has not been approved to access this resource

I am not asking for anything other than for the posts themselves, no comments, likes, or anything like that

Any help would be greatly appreciated

I'm in the same boat as @LoganArnett.

this is due to the new instagram's permission policy : https://www.instagram.com/developer/review/

You need to send a permission submission in order to get access to the API. Or you can run your instagram client in sanbox mode : https://www.instagram.com/developer/sandbox/

Apps created on or after Nov 17, 2015 can take advantage of Sandbox mode right away. Apps created before this date will only be able to use Sandbox mode after June 1, 2016, but can still start submitting for review. On June 1, 2016 any app that has not been reviewed and approved will be set to sandbox mode.

Shouldn't things still work even if we're in sandbox mode? There are limits but if we're within those limits it should be fine?

You need to add the users in the Sandbox Users list of your instagram Client manager. And i think you must provide a scope parameter during the oAuth process. Everything is in the instagram doc

Then you must revalidate the oauth tokens of your users.
