Problems to get Instagram profile visible on MagicMirror
-
Instagram and Facebook policies have changed in the meantime to obtain an access token for an application programming interface (API).
Most forum posts refer to the process before 2018.
Does anyone have one of the MMM-Instagram, MMM-Instagram2020 or MMM-InstagramView modules currently running? I have now tried several times and already invested days to realise a display of my Instagram profile on the MagicMirror².Could anyone help me with this, or is it not worth the effort, because even the long-lasting access tokens do not work.
To generate an API key , I only specified “Website” when creating an application, but I get the following error message:

Does anybody could assist me on this?

Doesn’t anybody use Instagram modules on his MagicMirror?
-
Could an admin please move this topic to the Troubleshooting section?
I think it is better placed there and more visible to get repsonse and assistance.
Thank you -
S sdetweil moved this topic from Utilities on

@ruffneck2 done.
if you look at the unread, or recent topic filters u see everything, regardless of category

@ruffneck2 SO clearly something went wrong with the auth request. There is no detail in the screenshot you provided.
in node_helper.js can you uncomment this line to get the error body? should be line no 193. You may want to add it after the else as well.
If this forum is unable to assist then you may want to open an issue in the Gitlab page for the module.
else if (!error && response.statusCode == 400) { console.log("MMM-InstagramView Helper Auth Exchange Error: " + response.statusCode); console.log(response.body); } else { console.log("MMM-InstagramView Helper Auth Exchange Error: " + response.statusCode); console.log(response.body) } -
