I would like to know how I can retrieve the list of people a user is following on Instagram. This is given that this particular user is someone that I follow.

Further changes were made this week which further constricts developer options. Many of us have turned to Instagram's private web API to implement the functionality we previously had.

I’m using the Instagram API in sandbox mode. I’m trying to access a User’s liked posts from the Instagram API using their authenticated access token. This user is one of the accepted sandbox users for my app, and has liked some posts. If I call other endpoints with the same token, I get some data, but accessing /users/self/media/liked returns empty data.
