How to get appId, appSecret of instagram?

Simple setup, you only need to complete step 3.

Then go to Instagram> Basic Display> Instagram App ID field

This is going to give you an access_token, which one can be used on the new Graph Api, go to https://developers.facebook.com/docs/instagram-basic-display-api/guides/getting-profiles-and-media for docs.

Usage:

import React, { Component } from 'react';
import { View, Text, TouchableOpacity, StyleSheet } from 'react-native';
import InstagramLogin from 'react-native-instagram-login';
import CookieManager from '@react-native-community/cookies';

export default class App extends Component {
  constructor(props) {
    super(props);
    this.state = {
      token: '',
    };
  }

  setIgToken = (data) => {
    console.log('data', data)
    this.setState({ token: data.access_token })
  }

  onClear() {
    CookieManager.clearAll(true)
      .then((res) => {
        this.setState({ token: null })
      });
  }
  render() {
    return (
      <View style={{ flex: 1, justifyContent: 'center', alignItems: 'center' }}>
        <TouchableOpacity
          style={styles.btn}
          onPress={() => this.instagramLogin.show()}>
          <Text style={{ color: 'white', textAlign: 'center' }}>Login now</Text>
        </TouchableOpacity>
        <TouchableOpacity
          style={[styles.btn, { marginTop: 10, backgroundColor: 'green' }]}
          onPress={() => this.onClear()}>
          <Text style={{ color: 'white', textAlign: 'center' }}>Logout</Text>
        </TouchableOpacity>
        <Text style={{ margin: 10 }}>Token: {this.state.token}</Text>
        {this.state.failure && (
          <View>
            <Text style={{ margin: 10 }}>
              failure: {JSON.stringify(this.state.failure)}
            </Text>
          </View>
        )}
        <InstagramLogin
          ref={ref => (this.instagramLogin = ref)}
          appId='your-app-id'
          appSecret='your-app-secret'
          redirectUrl='your-redirect-Url'
          scopes={['user_profile', 'user_media']}
          onLoginSuccess={this.setIgToken}
          onLoginFailure={(data) => console.log(data)}
        />
      </View>
    );
  }
}


const styles = StyleSheet.create({
  btn: {
    borderRadius: 5,
    backgroundColor: 'orange',
    height: 30,
    width: 100,
    justifyContent: 'center',
    alignItems: 'center',
  }
});

Props

Server side explicit: Discuss here

If you dont want to expose appSecret on the client, you dont need to pass appSecret props on client. And onLoginSuccess will callback a code.

On your server (Backend) you have to call an api https://api.instagram.com/oauth/access_token with method post to exchange the code for a token, and params:

client_id: your-app-id
client_secret: your-app-secret
grant_type: 'authorization_code'
redirect_uri: your-redirect-url
code: code-get-from-onLoginSuccess-props

For example

The response will look like this:

{
  "access_token": "IGQVJ...",
  "user_id": 17841405793187218
}

Logout

To logout use clear cookies by using https://github.com/react-native-community/cookies

import CookieManager from '@react-native-community/cookies';

  logout() {
    CookieManager.clearAll(true)
      .then((res) => {
        console.log('CookieManager.clearAll =>', res);
        this.setState({ token: '' })
      });
  }
