Meta offers an OAuth based API for Instagram.
Many companies and tools are built on and rely on this API for their product & daily operations.
Beginning Friday evening (US time), a critical endpoint in this API has broken. The endpoint creates long-lived access tokens, so it is in the critical path for almost any company using the API.
I find it disappointing that a leading technological company does not acknowledge a bug that's been reported to them several times more than 24 hours ago, even if to say that's it's being investigated.
The endpoint:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/instagram-basic-display-api/guides/long-lived-access-tokens#get-a-long-lived-token
Currently the API returns a Bad Request with a wrong error message (the endpoint should support "GET"):
```
{
"message": "Unsupported request - method type: get",
"type": "IGApiException",
"code": 100,
"fbtrace_id": "AuDYqK74IrT9Yt2Sx51UlP6"
}
```
I have opened a bug report but received no response.
Facebook's status page shows all green in the API section: https://metastatus.com/
There are several Meta Developers Community threads with no response
