I am building an application with Instagram login. I was able to login and fetch 20 media files as per sandbox rate-limits. Now since I want to fetch the tagged images, I have to invite users to the sandbox after which I can tag their photos and fetch data.

My problem here is I am not able to send sandbox invite.

I go to Manage Client > edit > sandbox option > type user name, enter to invite. It appears as NOT SAVED in sandbox user, and the person to whom I am sending the invite is not getting any invite.

Kindly help me as this is my first project on Instagram.

Press the "Save Changes" button, it will then change not saved to pending

Manage Client > Edit > Sandbox tab > type username and Enter > click "Save Changes"

    This is the most stupid interface I have seen in a long time. When I add someone they should just add them. – thenetimp Nov 17 '16 at 15:21
  • @krisrak As i type username and press enter, all the other 9 users are automatically populated with my developer account username(which is already the admin), and when i click save changes, it says cannot add admin as he is already added. What can be the issue? – Mamta Mar 18 '18 at 17:58
  • I don't see how you guys can add users, I don't even have a button to add or an input field to start typing – NaturalBornCamper Feb 27 '20 at 14:17

You need to go to Manage Client - Edit - Sandbox - type in the username and Enter as the accepted answer states, but I'd like to also add how to accept the invitation as I had to look around a bit for this, on the receiving account, log in and go to

https://www.instagram.com/developer/

Click Sandbox Invites at the top menu, there your invite will be waiting for you to accept, there are no emails sent for my test accounts, hope this helps someone
