I read the new documentation for Instagram subscriptions API. It says that after you subscribe, Instagram will notify you when people post new media on their page.

I would like to be notified when one of the user's post receive a new like or a comment?

Do you think this is possible?

The Instagram API does not currently support this option.

From the User Subscription Page:

User subscriptions are useful if you want to be notified when people who authenticated your app post new media on Instagram.

You will get a POST request only when there is a new post, it will not notify for likes or comments.

  • So in order to get updates for the user's post, I have to manually pull data from instagram using post id? I know about the '/media/media-id' endpoint. I wanted to ask you if there's a solution to get updates for a set of ids and not make a instagram request for each of the users id ? – Catalin Apr 09 '16 at 17:11
  • @Catalin AFAIK that option doesn't exist either and you will need to send a request for each id. – Forge Apr 09 '16 at 19:03
