Get Instagram Stories Json

Question

How can I get Instagram Stories in JSON Object by using Instagram API? I have tried using the following URL, but I am getting this error.

// https://i.instagram.com/api/v1/feed/user/MY_USER_ID/reel_media/

{
  "message": "login_required",
  "logout_reason": 2,
  "status": "fail"
}

Code :

String id = userInfoHashmap.get(InstagramApp.TAG_ID);

    JsonObjectRequest jsonObjectRequest = new JsonObjectRequest(Request.Method.GET, "https://i.instagram.com/api/v1/feed/user/"+id +"/reel_media/?access_token="+mApp.getTOken(), new Response.Listener<JSONObject>() {
        @Override
        public void onResponse(JSONObject response) {
            Log.d("ID: ", String.valueOf(response));
        }
    }, new Response.ErrorListener() {
        @Override
        public void onErrorResponse(VolleyError error) {

        }
    });

Solution

There is currently no official API for Instagram Stories.

In order to authenticate the request to that unofficial API endpoint, you must send a device 'sessionid', not your Instagram app's access token.

You can read my Medium article describing what you need to make a successful request to retrieve Instagram Stories: https://medium.com/@calialec/chrome-ig-story-bribing-the-instagram-story-api-with-cookies-c813e6dff911

Also, check out my GitHub repo to see where I'm injecting the cookies into the request: https://github.com/CaliAlec/ChromeIGStory/blob/master/event/src/index.js#L167

Here is my api that i am using i.instagram.com/api/v1/feed/user/MY_USER_ID/reel_media/… but same error

[redead]

You should change the URL to the documented form: api.instagram.com/v1/feed/user/MY_USER_ID/reel_media/…

[redead]

Try to paste the URL to a browser. You should get your desired result there. Otherwise your access token may have expired

[Tushar Pingale]

Same error. Can you make sure, it is the same URL required to fetch Instagram stories?

Have a look at sandbox mode. instagram.com/developer/sandbox

Hi. I have the same issue now. It appeared just a day ago for me :( I use all 3 cookies: sessionid (I regenerate it for each session), csrftoken and ds_user_id

@VishalPatoliyaツ Due to a Cease & Desist letter from Facebook, I have been forced to take down the GitHub repo.
