Instagram captcha error on new app creation

Question

When I try to create an instagram client (developer side), I'm always getting the same error:

Captcha invalid, please try again
Submission error: please fill out all required fields.

All fields are correctly set and captcha is good. (I tried many times, but always same error)

Someone have a solution for me?

If you look at the console, we can see there is an error related to "Content Security Policy" which avoid loading google captcha script :

Based on this answer there is no easy way to disable "Content Security Policy" in Chrome except by using an extension. Such an extension is available here : Disable Content Security Policy [Google Chrome extension]

Once the extension is active, the instagram form loads without errors and should look like this :

For security reason I highly recommend to uninstall the extension once the app is created.

Wow I've been at this for more than 2 hours and this answer allowed the captcha to show up, allowing me to complete this form finally. — gokeji, Oct 31 '18 at 04:47

I am getting the same errors, tried different browsers and even computers, no luck. I think its broken for everyone...

Edit: To clarify this is the form with the broken Captcha https://www.instagram.com/developer/clients/register/ and seems to prevent any new clients from being created.

Edit2: Tried the following devices

Win10 w/ Chrome v61.0.3163.100
Android 7.12 w/ Chrome v61.0.3163.98

SUCCESS: Worked only on a MacOS(Sierra 10.12.5) with Safari. Tried with Chrome v60.x and still did not work on the Mac. Only Safari seems to work.

I tried now with Safari on my mac and it worked for me. – Istvan Sep 26 '17 at 15:00
For me it worked on Safari on iOS 10.3.2. I entered the CAPTCHA answer in the field and then went back to the redirect URI field and pressed Enter/Go while that field was highlighted. Only place I could get it to work. – Sarah Sep 27 '17 at 08:25
Didn't work for Safari for me on Sierra. Worked with chrome on android. – RobKohr Oct 05 '17 at 18:49
Had the same issue today and it worked for me on Safari 11.0 on Sierra 10.12.6. Didn't work with chrome. – Nauman Aslam Oct 13 '17 at 07:33

For me, NOTHING WORKS. Tried Windows 10 and Mac OS. Android. Different browsers on each. Incognito mode. Long description. Nothing. I'm amazed Instagram did this so badly. Is there another way? More things to try? – Emin Oct 18 '17 at 23:23

Just go to your Google Chrome in your mobile phone (mine is Android) and it should work.

It worked for me ;)

thanks ! it works for me, but only with chrome (on iOS in my case) – romaniTO Sep 25 '17 at 20:27
I tried it on all my desktop browsers, and the first time I tried it on mobile it worked. Great tip! – Kenton de Jong Sep 25 '17 at 21:38
Weird I tried it on my Android 7.12 w/ Chrome v61.0.3163.98 and it did not work. A mac with Safari was the only way I could get it to save. – NickStees Sep 26 '17 at 19:38

Well. I found a solution. I had the same problem. Simply do that from your cellphone and it works.

Update: The Android Chrome version that I used is: 61.0

I was only able to successfully register via Safari on my iPhone. No desktop browser worked (Chrome, FireFox, Safari). They all gave the same error messages. – JaredH Oct 11 '17 at 17:35
Well I am not sure if the deliberately prevent registration on desktop or not, But weirdly it does not work on desktop browsers @JaredH – Sam Oct 15 '17 at 13:15

For those who just want the access the api and dont need a client id this is a workarround. I mangaged to get an access_token through http://instagram.pixelunion.net/

So i can still load images from my profile on my site

https://api.instagram.com/v1/users/{userid}/media/recent/?access_token={generated_accesscode}

yes it's a great solution, i used it too. But i don't understand why this form is broken and why instagram does nothing. It works for safari/mac for someone, for chrome for other, and nothing sometimes... incredible :) – romaniTO Sep 28 '17 at 07:53
@romaniTO Yeah I tried like all browsers on my mac, used a windows PC, android and iPhone browsers... nothing worked... so I found this solution and it was all I need. No need to have a client id for my purposes – SteinB Sep 28 '17 at 08:25

Worked for me once in incognito mode in Chrome. Not again. Must have tried 15+ different devices/browser combos, and nothing works now. – Dan Oct 18 '17 at 17:53
This just worked for me as of 10/18, I tried every other single combination suggested in this thread without success. – Danny Oct 18 '17 at 19:31

The captcha doesn't event show up for me on any browser on OS. Mobile or desktop. In the end I just didn't use a client ID and the user Id and access token seem to be enough for me to access my feed.

You have to press enter after typing your redirect_url.

Don't just click or tab to the next field.

I solved this issue by inserting a longer value in the description form input and by using the Firefox browser... What a joke !

I don't understand the matter but it's the only way I found.

I hope it will help someone here.

I tried Android app, Android Chrome, Android Firefox, and Laptop's Chrome. None of them worked... Finally I tried Laptop's Firefox and it worked like a charm... I happened to get a captcha with 3 words. Actually it was 2 signs but the second one has a road name and a number.

It works on latest version of firefox (v 55.0.3 32-bit) for me on windows 8.1.

Tried on android chrome, but that would not even let me open instagram.

I just finished creating couple of applications.

I got the form to successfully submit the first time round using Mac OS Sierra 10.12.6 in Firefox 54.0.1.

No version of Safari or Chrome would work for me.

Had the very same error:

The captcha solution was not correct. Please try again.

Submission error: please fill out all required fields.

Hope Firefox solves the issue for all.

I tried different OS (Windows/Linux/Mac OS/iOS/Android) and browser (Chrome/Safari/Firefox/IE) combinations with absolutely no luck. I contacted instagram and reported this issue and I recommend you do the same.

In the meantime, I found this temporary workaround. I went ahead a generated an access token using this link: Instagram Pixel Union

Now I can continue doing the development work while waiting for the response from instagram. I also sent the request to them for information
