The problem is between the library you are using and instagram: the latter is not sending you JSON where you expect it.

QUESTION

Testing Instagram Basic API locally

Asked 2021-Jun-08 at 06:51

I followed with success the "first steps" guide here to test the Instagram API.

I did it as suggested in the docs with an heroku app.

Now that I obtained my access token, I would like to test this NodeJS Instagram private API on my local machine, without having to deploy on Heroku only for development purposes all the time I make changes.

In practice, I would like to test it with localhost, instead of myapp.herokuapp.com.

I thought to add a redirect OAuth URI like https://localhost:8443/auth/ in the section of the image below.

As it requires the URI to begin with HTTPS, I guess I have to enable it in my Express JS, as explained here.

Question

Before venturing in such (for me) complicated realm, does anybody have experience in this or know if this is the right way to test the Instagram API locally?

I was able to make it work with localhost, but it was very tedious.

These are the steps:

Enable https in the local environment (I used the library https-localhost).
[I don't know if this is mandatory] create a test app* from the main app (https://developers.facebook.com/docs/development/build-and-test/test-apps/)
Set the redirect OAuth URI to https://localhost:/auth/ and update also all other URIs in .../instagram-basic-display/basic-display/ settings.
Finally, don't forget to use the client-id (aka app-id) and app-secret of the test app in the requests, which are different than the parent app
