I am studying to integrate Instagram into my app.But I have some confusion. I found 2 API document: https://www.instagram.com/developer/ and https://developers.facebook.com/docs/instagram-api/. They have differences about supporting API Endpoints as well as how to use. So, what are they and what should we use the one for my app?

I need to get followers and following of user. But I could not found any APIs support for that functions.

Could you please help, I really need it for my app.

Thanks a lot

As of 1st of June 2016. Now you're only able to get the list of your own followers/followings.

You can read about it here.

This api is used to get own followers/following list :

https://api.instagram.com/v1/users/self/follows?access_token=ACCESS-TOKEN
