Is this strategy still valid?

[marcindrozd]

With instagram api becoming a part of facebook, is this strategy still valid or should I use facebook one (or write a custom one to access instagram data through facebook api)?

It is still trying to authenticate through old instagram api, but I think that this is only before they disable it?

Are there plans to allow this gem to use new api?

Current Instagram API is suppose to deprecate by 2nd March 2020.
is there any plan to support Instagram Basic Display API ?

The link provided by @mkumar-ggl says the Instagram Basic Display API isn't an authentication solution:

Instagram Basic Display is not an authentication solution. Data returned by the API cannot be used to authenticate your app users or log them into your app. If you need an authentication solution we recommend using Facebook Login instead

Does that mean it isn't possible to authenticate via Instagram anymore? 😿
