My windows service is collect instagram datas from instagram api. I was using client_id but this uses format is removed.
Instagram api is want to access_token but Oauth 2.0 is web-based. or not?
I using .NET and my application type is windows service and web request don't work because this call url: "https://www.instagram.com/oauth/authorize/?client_id=CLIENT-ID&redirect_uri=REDIRECT-URI&response_type=code" is have one more contain redirect. so web response haven't contain my web application link also auto redirect is open..
what should I do?
Thanks..
Steps to get instagram access token
register ur application in instagram account.
get a client id and client secret.
Step 1: HIT the below url.
https://api.instagram.com/oauth/authorize/?client_id=CLIENT-ID&redirect_uri=REDIRECT-URI&response_type=code
step 2: after hitting above url you will be taken to login page. enter the login credentials and take the code from address bar.
it will be live for only 20 seconds i guess.
step 3: The code which you got put it in CODE parameter in the below source code, then run the below code in console application n hit breakpoint at response. you will get access token and userid.
public void GetDataInstagramToken()
{
try
{
NameValueCollection parameters = new NameValueCollection();
parameters.Add("client_id", "CLIENT-ID");
parameters.Add("client_secret", "CLIENT-Secret");
parameters.Add("grant_type", "authorization_code");
parameters.Add("redirect_uri", "REDIRECT-URI");
parameters.Add("code", "CODE");
WebClient client = new WebClient();
var result = client.UploadValues("https://api.instagram.com/oauth/access_token", "POST", parameters);
var response = System.Text.Encoding.Default.GetString(result);
// deserializing nested JSON string to object
var jsResult = (JObject)JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(response);
string accessToken = (string)jsResult["access_token"];
}
catch (Exception)
{
//exception catch
}
