Instagram login

General

Hello friends,

So i have this app i am going to release very soon. I use facebook and twitter to have users login, all from backendless API, but lots of people also want me to allow users to login with instagram. Since backendless API does not natively support instagram authentication, i was wondering if you guys could please give me some hints on what road to take to have users login with instagram and have them saved/created as backendless users in my user’s schema.

Thanks.

Hi,

You can first register user through Instagram API and then required login credentials to Backendless. But check user access token would be your responsibility in this case.

We don’t provide any instructions on this. The simplest way would be to login the user to Instagram, then register and login or just login him into Backendless.But you should implement the logic by yourself, this is out of Backendless’ scope to help you write code.
