Instagram Basic Display Api is deprecated

[leon1995]

Will this extension work with the "instagram api" where a business or creator account is required for? The "Instagram Basic Display api" is deprecated since 04.09.2024

I am also interested if there will be an update for this?
In your documentation, you still refer to "Basic Display", but FB will shut down it on 4.12. https://developers.facebook.com/docs/instagram-basic-display-api

@MDevster @seibtph
Since we are using this great extension and customers are already asking about it, here is our question:
What would it cost to adapt the extension so that it works with the new Instagram API?
Thank you very much in advance!

[MDevster]

Please excuse us, we are currently finishing our other extensions for Contao 5.3 + project business and therefore have little capacity. However, you are welcome to donate a developer hour for Social Feed and thus increase the priority.

Any news on this subject or a workaround to use the Instagram API?

Thanks for the update.

@operatorone As we also had to find a solution until 4. of december that works for all our customers and is not to time expensive to get it done, we switched to an external tool https://elfsight.com/de/
The widgets are pretty good customizeable and works good for us.

[MDevster]

I assume that we will be able to provide an update in about 2 weeks. You are welcome to donate if you need the update sooner.

Great. I will rather sponsor some bucks, than switch to elfsight, because of GDPR issues.

[mike-tuxedo]

@operatorone thats great 👍
I just had to fix it till the 4., because I have some critical customers, they will not accept that instagram isn't showing up on their page for months.

@MDevster Just send you some via sposoring. Can you give me an update if the API is working again? This would be awesome. Thanks.

The general issue is, that Meta does not allow this functionality anymore for regular Instagram profiles. Only Instagram Business Accounts will work from now on. See also codefog/contao-instagram#53

[operatorone]

But the integration of the API has to be altered anyway or not?

[fritzmg]

I cannot speak for what needs to be changed within this here extension - but for codefog/contao-instagram not much has to be changed (see above).
