Instagram Graph API problem by using /insights edge

I'm trying to learn more about Instagram Graph API and I received a problem during my data retrieval.
When I try to use {ig-user-id}/insights edge I get this error.
(#100) Tried accessing nonexisting field (insights) on node type (InstagramUser)
I'm moving step by step as API documentation shows, but I realized that the Instagram Graph API document is out-dated.
How can I receive basic insights data of a Professional Instagram Account and each media of it?
Thanks in advance!

{ig-user-id}/insights?metric=impressions,reach,profile_views&period=day&access_token={your-access-token}
This API endpoint call should work.
Refer to this link: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/instagram-api/reference/user/insights
It's updated and working, tried it myself, and even look for all the permission to be given mentioned in the link.
Limitations:
Insights data is not available on IG Users that have fewer than 100 followers.
Insights data for the online_followers metric is only available for the last 30 days.

Scrape chat from other user's YouTube Livestream

I have a program to scrape (almost) all of the comments from a given YouTube video from another SO question, and I am looking to do the same thing for the chat in a livestream. From what I understand, I need to get the liveChatId, and I need to do that with the liveBroadcast function. Additionally, I need to use an OAuth2 key, as opposed to a regular developer key, which I use for the program to get comments from videos. However, I haven't seen a way to get the comments from an arbitrary user's livestream, only my own, and I'd like to get the comments from any livestream I want. Specifically, I'd like to know if this is possible, and if so, what I would need to do to accomplish this.

The reason you are getting The user is not enabled for live streaming is because your account isn't enabled for live streaming. The Live Streaming API will only return results from your own account as far as I can tell.

Get comments without api in Instagram with Python

I need to get the photo comments a particular hashtag, however, from what I've read, it is required that this API sandbox outside.
As requested by an application in production, I do not have, but I am development / test it.
It occurred to me get feedback without the API, but not know how to implement it.
You can help me please?.
Thanks.

Getting Started with Facebook API

I have a friend that owns a small business and has a Page on Facebook. I want to help her manage it from a marketing perspective, and figure that it may be best to do so through their API.
I have skimmed their API documentation, and have a basic working knowledge of Python. What I can't figure out is if I can access their page's data with Python and grab the data on wall posts, who liked posts, etc. Is this possible? I can't find a decent tutorial for someone who is new to programming.
To provide context, I have been scraping the Twitter Search API for some time now and I am hoping there is something similar (request certain data elements, and have it returned as structured data I can analyze). I find their API extremely straight forward, and for Facebook, I don't know where to begin.
I don't want to create an application, I simply want to access the data that is related to my friend's page.
I am hoping to find some decent tutorials and help on what I will need to get started. Any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated.

You could try Pyjamas Desktop.
http://pyjs.org/
It runs python in an embedded web browser and gives you access to the html DOM.
This potentially means that you can use the JS api directly from python.
You will need to be running a server locally though.

Basically to automate posting stuff to the persons profile you need to get their oath token and then make API calls w/ that token.
Here are steps to get API token:
Register APP w/ facebook and get app id
Have your friend click this link https://www.facebook.com/dialog/oauth?
client_id=[your app id here]&
type=user_agent&
scope=email,read_stream,,,user_about_me,offline_access,publish_stream&
redirect_uri=http://www.facebook.com/connect/login_success.html
Then record that token for future
You can now use any available python FB lib to post and manage that FB page.
This should get you started:

Retrieving my own data via FaceBook API

I am building a website for a comedy group which uses Facebook as one of their marketing platforms; one of the requirements for the new site is to display all of their Facebook events on a calendar.
Currently, I am just trying to put together a Python script which can pull some data from my own Facebook account, like a list of all my friends. I presume once I can accomplish this I can move to pulling more complicated data out of my clients account (since they have given me access to their account).
I have looked at many of the posts here, and also went through the Facebook API documentation, including Facebook Connect, but am really beating my head against the wall. Everything I have read seems like overkill, as it involves setting up a good deal of infrastructure to allow my app to set up connections to any arbitrary user's account (who authorizes me). Shouldn't it be much simpler, given I only ever need to access 1 account?
I cannot find a way to retrieve data without having to display the Facebook login window. I have a script which will retrieve all my friends, but it includes a redirect where I have to physically log myself in to Facebook.
Would appreciate any advice or links, I just feel like I must be missing something simple.
Thank you!

Just posting up my notes on the successful advice, should others find this post;
Per Daniel and William's advice, I obtained the right permissions using the Connect options. From William, this link explains how the Facebook connection works
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/authentication/
This section on setting up the actual authentication was most helpful to me.
http://developers.facebook.com/docs/api
Basically, it goes as follows:
Post a link to the following URL. A user will need to physically click on it (even if that user is just you, the site admin).
https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/authorize?client_id=YOUR_CLIENT_ID&redirect_uri=http://www.example.com/HANDLER
This will redirect to a Facebook login, which will return to http://www.example.com/HANDLER after the user authenticates. If you wish to do more than basic reads and news feed updates you will need to include this variable in the above link: scope=offline_access,user_photos. The scope variable just includes a comma separated list of values, which Facebook will explicitly tell the authenticating user about during the login process, and they will have to OK. Most helpful for me was the offline_access flag (user_photos lets you get at their photos too), so I can pull content without someone logging in regularly (so long as I store the access token obtained later)
Have a script located at http://www.example.com/HANDLER that will take a variable from the request (so facebook will redirect to http://www.example.com/HANDLER&code=YOUR_CODE after authentication). Your handler needs to pull out the code variable, and then send the following request:
https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token?
client_id=YOUR_CLIENT_ID&
redirect_uri=http://www.example.com/oauth_redirect&
client_secret=YOUR_SECRET_KEY&
code=YOUR_CODE
This request will return a string of the form access_token=YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN.
Just parse off the 'access_token=', and you will have a token that you can use to access the facebook graph API, in requests like
http://graph.facebook.com/me/friends?access_token=YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN
This will return a JSON object containing all of your friends
Hope this saves someone else some not fun time straining through documentation. Thanks for the help!

It is true, that Facebook's API is targeted at developers who are creating apps that will be used by many users.
Thankfully, the new Graph API is much simpler to use than its predecessor, and shouldn't be terribly difficult for you to work with without using or creating a lot of underlying infrastructure.
You will need to implement authorization, but this is not difficult, and as long as you prompt the user for the offline_access permission, it'll only need to be done once.
The documentation on Desktop Authentication would probably be most relevant to you at this point, though you might want to move to the javascript-based authentication once you've got a web app up and running.
Once the authentication is done, all you're doing is making GET requests to various urls and working with the resulting JSON.
Here's the documentation about Events, and you can get a list of friends from the friends connection of a User.

I'm not expert on Facebook/Facebook Connect, however I've seen it used/used applications with it and it seems there's really only the 'official' way to do it. I'm afraid it looks like your best bet would probably be something along the lines of this.
http://wiki.developers.facebook.com/index.php/Connect/Authentication_and_Authorization
Regardless of how you actually 'use' it, you'll still need to authorize the application to connect to the account and this means having a Facebook App as well.

The answer to Facebook application authentication is hard to find but is actually found within the "Analytics" page of the Graph API.
Specify the following: https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token?client_cred&client_id=yourappid&client_secret=yourappsecret , you will then be given an access_token that you may use on all other calls.
The Facebook provided APIs do NOT currently provide this level of functionality.
