Did Instagram change API rate limits on Mar 30, 20

问题:

I use some self developed script to get info about my posts and followers. Recently I discovered that Instagram changed rate limits for my app. I see following info in headers:

x-ratelimit-limit: 200

I learned Instagram blog and page with changes but found no mentions about any changes since Oct 1, 2017.

Is this new limit related only to my token or to entire platform? Could you check your token?

回答1:

Yes It is, Although no official communication. I also experienced that. I found this in their documentation.

The Instagram API uses the same rate limiting as the Graph API (200 calls per user per hour) with one exception: the /media/comments edge limits writes to 60 writes per user per hour. Please refer to the Graph API's rate limiting documentation for more information.

Some perspective:

This 200 per hour call has been in the Graph API documentation for at least a month (according to wayback machine).

Facebook must have panicked over the weekend and pressed the "require Graph API permissions" button, thus our current situation. :\

回答3:

Yes,

The limit has been reduced.

Here are some reference links for detailed documentation:

Instagram API limit reduced to 200 from 5000

Here's our answer: https://www.instagram.com/developer/changelog/

The API deprecated immediately. So really the limits probably don't matter that much anymore. I really don't see myself building another app based on their API...
