Today I tried to post a like via PHP (Curl) without luck. The output is that a token is required but I used a working token. I tried the same token with JS and it works.
Did Instagram changed some things bout PHP?
Here is my code:
<?php
$media_id = '615839918291043487_528338984';
$url = "https://api.instagram.com/v1/media/615839918291043487_528338984/likes?";
$access_token_parameters = array(
'access_token' => '191573449.9e262d9.ff708911edcd4f809ca31dd76d08c0ba',
'action' => 'like'
);
$curl = curl_init($url);
curl_setopt($curl,CURLOPT_GET,true);
curl_setopt($curl,CURLOPT_GETFIELDS,$access_token_parameters);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
echo curl_exec($curl);
?>
Output.:
{"meta":{"error_type":"OAuthParameterException","code":400,"error_message":"Missing client_id or access_token URL parameter."}}
I tried it on several server, with several proxies, several client and token. Hopefully you know what's going on.
To add a like to a photo you need to do it via POST. The following is an modified version of your code to do this.
<?php
$url = "https://api.instagram.com/v1/media/615839918291043487_528338984/likes";
$fields = array(
'access_token' => '191573449.9e262d9.ff708911edcd4f809ca31dd76d08c0ba'
);
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, http_build_query($fields));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$response = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
echo $response;
?>
