Problems to get Instagram profile visible on MagicMirror

ruffneck2

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:

[21.04.2022 16:47.20.994] [LOG]   Stopping module helper: newsfeed

My current configuration looks like:

		{
			module: 'MMM-InstagramView',
			position: 'top_center',
			header: 'Instagram - @Hypeneedz',
			config: {
				client_id: '7424...02', // Facebook Instagram App ID
				client_secret: '7b81c....25', // Facebook Instagram App Secret
				redirect_uri: 'https://localhost/', // Facebook Instagram App redirect_uri
				auth_code: 'e935......ed', // Temporary authorization code as part of the Facebook Instagram Authorization Process
				showCaptions: true,
				showChildren: true,
				showDate: true,
				showMediaType: false,
				startRandom: true,
				shuffle: true,
				animationSpeed: 5000,
				updateInterval: 60000,
					}
		},

I’m not sure about the URL respective the redirect_uri https://localhost/ because I want to display the profile at home on my mirror and not on any public website.

Does anybody could assist me on this?

Doesn’t anybody use Instagram modules on his MagicMirror?

ruffneck2

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

@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)
            }

Thank you for your suggestion. I will give it another try at the weekend. I have already tried it on Github, with similar success
