Clicking the "Join them" button causes error

[chrisma]

When clicking the "JOIN THEM" button on the website's front page, without having used the service before an error occurs.

I am redirected to the following URL (anonymized):

https://www.instagram.com/oauth/authorize?state=<uuid>&redirect_uri=http%3A%2F%2Fi-am-cc.org%2Fcomplete%2Finstagram%2F%3Fredirect_state%3D<uuid>&response_type=code&client_id=<id>

The following content is returned:

{
    "code": 403,
    "error_type": "OAuthForbiddenException",
    "error_message": "You are not a sandbox user of this client"
}

Any chance of making this work again? I know the last commit was in Dec 2012. Is this project still being maintained? It seemed like a really great idea!

Unfortunately, Instagram has changed their API quite a bit since I hacked this project together. Last I read, it may not be possible to implement this project with their new API changes, but I haven't done any research.

that's sad. is there any other approach towards cc in instagram? I can't find anything in web newer then the articles about your projoct from around 2012... I'm not fit enough in API stuff to contribute :/

I guess all the broken images we see on there now, would also be due to instagram API changes?

Unfortunately, I believe so. I think I was capturing the information required to render the images already pulled into the database but it likely requires a url tweak. It’s doubtful /new/ images can be pulled down due to Instagram’s unfortunate API changes here.

If someone wants to look into the url format I’d be happy to make the change. It would certainly be good to e.g. download these images if possible and archive them for future usage.
