Get Instagram oAuth Token

This should be rather simple but there are no 3 step tutorials to do this. I’ve even done it multiple times in the past. Bullet points:

1: Register an application in instagram’s developer page. https://instagram.com/developer/clients/manage

2: Take the CLIENT ID from the newly created app.

3: Log into the instagram account of the client that you want access to

4: Visit the following URL, replacing client_id and redirect_uri with the ones you defined in your application. https://instagram.com/oauth/authorize/?client_id=*****************&redirect_uri=*************&response_type=token

5: Accept. NOTE: If you are using this to use a javascript / frontend / non serverside method of communicating with the API, ensure you add &scope=basic to the URL https://instagram.com/oauth/authorize/?client_id=*****************&redirect_uri=*************&response_type=code&scope=basic So that a publicly available key can’t be abused.

6: You will get your token in the redirect_url in the form of a hash (#<ACCESS_TOKEN>)

7: Profit
