Hello!

I tried to follow the instructions in my copy of "Mining the Social Web" (3rd edition) for mining Instagram, but soon noticed that I couldn't follow the mentioned steps. Aparently Instagram's API changed a few days ago (15/10/2019). I tried to go on and I went to their new platform (https://developers.facebook.com/products/instagram/) to set up my app: "My Apps" --> "Create App" --> name --> "Add Product" ---> "Instagram" --> "Set Up".

The problem is that I now have an App ID and an App Secret, but no Client ID or Secret and no "Redirect URL" either. The page shown in figure 3-1 of the book is no longer available. I thought maybe I could still run the notebook with the App ID and App Secret, but that did not work at all. When I clicked on the URL I simply received following error message: {"error_type": "OAuthException", "code": 400, "error_message": "Invalid Client ID"}. I then changed CLIENT to APP in the code, but that did not change the outcome.

Could somene with more experience tell me whether this issue can be solved or how I might still use this notebook with Instagram's new API?

Thank you in advance,

ldegreve
