Instagram API sandbox - display by hashtags

Question

I am trying to develop an Instagram feed based off one hashtag for a website. This hashtag only needs to be searched on one Instagram account. I have been trying the following endpoint:

https://api.instagram.com/v1/tags/christielakecamp/media/recent?access_token=xxxxxx&count=9

.. but I get the following error back:

{"meta": {"code": 400, "error_type": "OAuthPermissionsException", "error_message": "This client has not been approved to access this resource."}}

My "app" is currently in sandbox mode, and I've read that I need access to the "public_content" permission in order to do this. When I go to submit my app for review I select what I want to do with it:

I want to display hashtag content and public content on my website.

I get this back:

This use case is not supported. We do not approve the public_content permission for one-off projects such as displaying hashtag based content on your website. As alternative solution, you can show your own Instagram content, or find a company that offers this type of service (content discover, moderation, and display).

Does this mean that I can't display info from my own feed based on hashtags?

Answer 1

您可以从自己的帐户中显示主题标签，必须使用帐户中的access_token ，并且如果只需要您的内容，则不需要public_content权限。
