Anyone know the limit request for the Instagram API Token? Since Mar 30, the IG is not showing the posts from IG. As I have more than 20 sites using the same API request.

This is the error given by the API url:

{
  "error_type": "OAuthRateLimitException",
  "code": 429,
  "error_message": "You have exceeded the maximum number of requests per hour. You have performed a total of 216 requests in the last hour. Our general maximum limit is set at 200 requests per hour."
}

Kindly let me know if anyone has fixed this issue.

    It clearly says the limit is 200 and you have done more than that. What are you actually asking? – James Z Apr 02 '18 at 06:41
  • The sites are working well over the past 2 years, everyday the request is more than 200 , but out of a sudden IG/Facebook just decided to cut off the limit to 200 ? – Kai Shien Apr 03 '18 at 01:57
  • Is the quota the same? I mean, if you use 200 request from a phone and then you use your Instagram, will Instagram keep working? – Emixam23 Jul 04 '18 at 08:06

It used to 5000 request per user per hour, but suddenly instagram changed this limit to 200 request per hour per user.

Although no official communication. I found this in their documentation.

The Instagram API uses the same rate limiting as the Graph API (200 calls per user per hour) with one exception: the /media/comments edge limits writes to 60 writes per user per hour. Please refer to the Graph API's rate limiting documentation for more information.

Hope this will be helpful.
