How do I get IGTV posts from the Instagram API?

I pulled the last 10 Instagram posts for a specific user. 2 of those posts are IGTV type posts, but they are not showing up in the list of posts.

It seems the Instagram API is not returning the Instagram TV (IGTV) posts at all.

I have read through the documentation, and can't find how to access Instagram TV posts.

Googled a bunch no one is mentioning this.

Can you access Instagram API?

In 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.

What information can I get from Instagram API?

The API can be used to get and publish their media, manage and reply to comments on their media, identify media where they have been @mentioned by other Instagram users, find hashtagged media, and get basic metadata and metrics about other Instagram Businesses and Creators.

The documentation clearly states: “IGTV objects are not supported”

https://developers.facebook.com/docs/instagram-api/reference/media/

Unfortunately we have to wait for that endpoint
