Question

Instagram login API is in use. After approving the app, the following error occurs.

The user denied your request.

It worked well until yesterday. What\'s the

Answer 1

Temporary workaround

I got the same problem today. The app/client was revoked without a reason and any time that I tried to re-auth (get the auth/Access token) I received an error message with:

error_reason=user_denied
error=access_denied
error_description=The+user+denied+your+request

-

I solved by changing the browser language during the auth-code procedure (your own or via third party websites like pixelunion). I used Firefox with the addon Language Switch https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/languageswitch/ and Set the language to "English" (the plugin adds a flag in the toolbar. Left click on it and then on the "English" text). After changing to the (accepted) English language the procedure finished without issues.

Note: it's almost impossible to contact the instagram/facebook support. Really disappointing.
