I just started learning Python and trying to get access token for Instagram. And below is the code that I wrote.
from instagram.client import InstagramAPI
service_url = 'https://api.instagram.com/oauth/authorize/client_id='+clientid+'&redirect_uri='+re_url+'&response_type=code'
print service_url
code = 'code' #I open the browser and go on to the service url and get the code
api = InstagramAPI(client_id=clientid, client_secret=clientsecret, redirect_uri=re_url)
access_token = api.exchange_code_for_access_token('code')
print access_token
So the first part of the codes is that I concatenate authorization url with my client id and redirecting uri. Then, I open my browser and paste it, and the page is redirected, and finally I get the code part.
Then I replace 'code' part with actual code that I acquired. With this procedure the whole thing works fine. However,if I run this again without changing the 'code', it says "OAuth2AuthExchangeError: Matching code was not found or was already used"
I tried to get redirected url and parse the code from it; however, I can not get redirected url with requests package.
Is there any way that I can get code easily? or do I have to go on a browser every time to get a code?
