i've been trying to use instaR, but failed at getting an access token - getting the response:
Authentication complete.
Error in init_oauth2.0(self$endpoint, self$app, scope = self$params$scope, :
Bad Request (HTTP 400). Failed to get an access token.
when examining the request using with_verbose(), i don't see any additional info.
httr::with_verbose(my_oauth <- instaOAuth(app_id=client_id,app_secret=client_secret))
this is the response i get (masked the client id and secret):
Waiting for authentication in browser... Press Esc/Ctrl + C to abort

i saw people reporting similar issues with R FB libraries, some of them reported that reverting to an older httr version resolved the issue (due to the current version possibly having some issues with http instead of https requests). i tried both the current version and 1.1.0 with the same results.

found some interesting info at https://github.com/hadley/httr/issues/379, but no solution.
any help would be greatly appreciated!
