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
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:
Reference: http://jelled.com/instagram/access-token
In such error case:
{"code": 403, "error_type": "OAuthForbiddenException", "error_message": "You are not a sandbox user of this client"}
You need to add that Instagram user to Sandbox Users
:
Step1:
Go https://www.instagram.com/developer/clients/manage/
Press Manage
.
Press Sandbox
.
Step2:
Type Instagram ID
of user you getting that error add and press Save
. You will see pending
in front of user you added.
Step 3:
Now you need to accept invitation. Login into that Instagram account on the https://www.instagram.com .
Go to https://www.instagram.com/developer/clients/sandbox_invites/
Press Accept
.
Done! Now should work.
In addition to the already provided answers:
You cannot be logged in to account A and request a token for account B .
This is a simple answer, but I just spent 15 minutes figuring this out, because I'm logged in to different accounts under different Chrome windows.
