Instagram API Used in InstagramGather.groovy Deprecated as of 2020

We are currently using the com/funnelback/stencils/workflow/instagram/InstagramGather.groovy stencils script to gather data from Instagram.

Upon researching the capabilities of Instagram’s API, I discovered that the API at https://api.instagram.com is going to be fully deprecated in early 2020 (Instagram Platform - Documentation - Meta for Developers).

I believe this means that the InstagramGather script will no longer work as of March 2, 2020. Are there any plans for upgrading this stencils script to use the newer Instagram Graph API or creating an official Instagram Funnelback collection before this time?

Hi Lyu,

Good news. We have recently developed a new instagram custom gather script which can be found here:

Hope this helps.
