You are not a sandbox user of this client. Error Codeigniter-Instagram api
In my codeigniter project I am trying to use Instagram API for log in.
This is the library which I am using.
But when going to the login page, it is showing error
{"code": 403, "error_type": "OAuthForbiddenException", "error_message": "You are not a sandbox user of this client"}
The sample url is
https://www.instagram.com/oauth/authorize/?client_id=[client ID]&redirect_uri=[your url]&response_type=code
Why it is working like this? Any help could be appreciated
Answer
As per this error:
{"code": 403, "error_type": "OAuthForbiddenException", "error_message": "You are not a sandbox user of this client"}
First of all you need to create Sandbox User:
Step1:
Login your account from here "http://instagram.com/developer" and than click on Manage Clients for creating New Client, make sure status of client is Sandbox.
Step2:
Fill all required fields and set OAuth redirect_uri field to "http://localhost" without using quotes. also unchecked Disable implicit OAuth
Step 3:
Now you can see the client id on Client Detail box, now you just need to generate Access Token for access API, you can use this URL:
https://instagram.com/oauth/authorize/?client_id=[CLIENT_ID_HERE]&redirect_uri=http://localhost&response_type=token
You can check the status of Client from here:
