Stopped working about instagramkit HOT 14 CLOSED

I have figured out that it is only with my own user name...others' seem to work fine. This does seem to be permanent though as I still cannot do anything on Instagram unless it's on the app directly.

from instagramkit.

i have some problem. Can't any more like any photos. Always get "Request failed: bad request (400)";
here is more info:
Error Domain=AFNetworkingErrorDomain Code=-1011 "Request failed: bad request (400)" UserInfo=0x155e4b70 {NSErrorFailingURLKey=https://api.instagram.com/v1/media/739603952128906673_1209651940/likes, AFNetworkingOperationFailingURLResponseErrorKey=<NSHTTPURLResponse: 0x156ad280> { URL: https://api.instagram.com/v1/media/739603952128906673_1209651940/likes } { status code: 400, headers {

That error is because you sent too many requests so you won't be able to
use the API with your own login any more. For how long, I don't know.

I'm having the exact same issue. Any luck in resolving it? Or finding a quick fix?

from instagramkit.

@chrispmonkey Yes, I did. The problem is on Instagram's side. They cut users off after too many requests. I went back in some weeks later and tried again and it once again worked. You just have to wait it out. Also, @shyambhat, were you aware that your getMediaFromUser methods don't work? They always fail. Just a heads up.

from instagramkit.

@claytoncohn : can you please open a new issue regarding the getMediaFromUser while include the error message/code that you receive?

from instagramkit.

@claytoncohn @shyambhat @dezinezync : Do you guys have any good suggestions in ways to limit or stagger the liking calls to instagram's API in order to best prevent an app or the user from being blocked or marked as spam? What are the best solutions that you guys have found to avoid this issue? Any help would be appreciated. I have looked everywhere and have not found a solution or guidance. This is honestly the last thing I need to finish my app.

Yes. use the sleep function.

I'm having the same issue with this call. It seems to happen randomly and I am no where near the api rate limits. It happens maybe once out of every 20 calls to retrieve user details.

from instagramkit.

It's not a matter of the API limit, Instagram has additional (undisclosed)
algorithms that prohibit certain functions depending on time, account, etc.

After further testing, it's even more confusing. It seems to happen with certain users on certain days. On day 1, I will receive this error 100% of the time for user A. But I can still retrieve details for User B, User C and User D. On day 2, I will not receive the error for user A, but might receive it for User C 100% of the time.

I am making authenticated calls and am WAY below any rate limits. Really strange and I'd be willing to bet there is some problem with whatever algorithm Instagram is using for this.

Anyway, sorry to clutter up the issues for InstagramKit, this clearly is a problem on Instagram's side.

FYI, the issue has gone away for me. I have a feeling it is related to this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/27915852/instagram-api-no-longer-grants-access-to-private-accounts
