Everything is strange at the moment. But i cannot understand why the instagram-team does not give any information about changes.

Yeah same here.
We lose all the time now...

Yes there are changes that had happend. I believe Twitter has announced it will have filters on photos soon and in response Intagram cut them off from displaying images directly on Twitter. Now there is a re-direct to the Instagram site. Im sure they bundled a few different changes along with this one but I think that was the big change.

Bad news guys..

Hi all,

We're addressing these issues on a one on one basis; if you have a particular issue you'd like to bring up with your particular app, please write to apidevelopers [at] instagram.com. Due to increasing abuse of the API, we're being more careful about opening up access; we've updated the response to be clearer about this.

Particularly, we do not allow following / liking exchanges through the API, as discussed in our Terms of Use.

I think they thinking in lowering the limits more and more every day , so start thinking in another solutions for your buisness.
API is a free service , they can stop it when they want without give any clue to users.

API seems still working for some users.

You can check my alternative solution im on skype! cheers

I'm interested in your alternative solution. Gonna add you now.

Does anyone here know any ways around the instagram API? It's getting really frustrating.

Redox123 · Dec 11, 2012

They even updated the app today.

PureBlack · Dec 11, 2012

Check instagram's updates. They do not let people access their API easily.

I thought Xgram acted like a normal mobile user and didn't use API.

Hey Guys,

it seems like they stopped us.
Mass following and mass liking doens't work now. (Even if we use the api)

Any ideas how to solve it?

Might want to change your sig and remove 'Instagram Guru'.....

Wow.
Someone gave me a bad reputation for this thread.
Saying "api changes"

Haha great community.

ummm u probably got the neg rep because of the pretentious banner u call urself an instagram guru; gurus dont ask for help.they give it.

Certainly doesn't look good. Even using the very simple instaget (which automatically limits likes/comments/follows to only 50 per hour) is starting to go error crazy.

After using Instaget (directly uses webstagram) I get errors. If I manually check the webstagram website, I get
"Too many access! We're restricting your IP address temporarily.
To unlock, please contact to (statigram email)
errorcode=dos_report2"

Webstagram is trying to stop bots. I have to imagine instagram themselves are doing the same thing. Potentially the end of an era here fellas.
