Bad Request (HTTP 400). Failed to get an access token.

[aminrigi]

I followed the tutorial from https://github.com/pablobarbera/instaR/blob/master/examples.R

and ran the code:

 app_id <- "AAAAAA"

app_secret <- "YYYYYXXXXYYY"

token <- instaOAuth(app_id, app_secret)

I receive this in the console:

Waiting for authentication in browser...
Press Esc/Ctrl + C to abort
Authentication complete.
Error in oauth2.0_access_token(endpoint, app, code = code, user_params = user_params,  : 
  Bad Request (HTTP 400). Failed to get an access token.

I already put http://localhost:1410/ as a valid redirect URI in instagram.

This is my sessionInfo

Same problem here. Do you solve the problem?

Good Day all. I was hoping to see if anyone had encountered a 'fix' or further information regarding this? I too am attempting a similar method of connecting much like aminrigi, but am still receiving the same error.

Just stumbled upon the same thing. I'm not sure this package is being updated anymore. Specially since september, there were changes in the Instagram API
