Integrating the Instagram Provider

⚠️ The Instagram Legacy API permission was deprecated on the 29th of June 2020. Instagram no longer supports using their Basic Display API for authentication.

From Instagram's documentation:

Instagram Basic Display is not an authentication solution. Data returned by the API cannot be used to authenticate your app users or log them into your app. If you need an authentication solution we recommend using Facebook Login instead.

A Facebook authentication provider is available from Microsoft.

Example

services.AddAuthentication(options => /* Auth configuration */)
        .AddInstagram(options =>
        {
            options.ClientId = Configuration["Instagram:ClientId"];
            options.ClientSecret = Configuration["Instagram:ClientSecret"];

            // Optionally return the account type
            options.Fields.Add("account_type");

            // Optionally return the user's media
            options.Fields.Add("media_count");
            options.Fields.Add("media");
            options.Scope.Add("user_media");
        })
