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?
707
Instagram announced a depreciation of the Basic Permission for its Legacy API Platform. Update: Instagram made the API change on the 29th of June, 2020 and not on the initially announced date – 2nd of March, 2020.
Instagram API ChangesIn 2018, Instagram shut down its public API. Meaning, third-party apps can no longer access the API from Instagram without permission. Third-party apps now need to be approved by Instagram before they can access the API.
Instagram gives every third-party application connected to its API a limit of how many times it can call their data. They have now reduced their API limit from 5,000 calls per hour to 200 calls per hour.
Instagram has changed the number of requests that any company using the INstagram API, including Livefyre, can make from 5,000 requests per hour per token to 200 requests an hour per token. This is known as rate limiting. A token is the same as an Instagram account.
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.
