title: How to get Instagram api access token without browser redirect?
body: <p>We have an Web API (ASP.net &amp; C#) project that collects recent posts (by our organisation) from all four different social networking sites (facebook, twitter, youtube and instagram) and pass them on as json feed to websites and mobile apps.</p>
  
  <p>Luckily, both Facebook and Twitter provides Oauth "client_credentials" flows which allows me to get token when I make a POST request to "token endpoint" with client id, client secret and grant type as "client_credential" as shown below:</p>
  
  <pre><code>https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token?client_id=YOUR_APP_ID&amp;client_secret=YOUR_APP_SECRET&amp;grant_type=client_credentials
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But I am not sure how to tackle Instagram API because it doesn't give a "client_credentials" flow. Since the token retrieval needs to happen at the backend within a function without an explicit authentication in a web browser. </p>
  
  <p>Has anyone solved this problem?     </p>
