Facebook is shutting down the free photo API?

Question

Instagram

Hi all.
Wandering through the descriptions of the new Graph API for Instagram.
Do I understand correctly that there will be no more free access to pictures?
For basic usage write:

GET https://graph.instagram.com/{media-id}
  ?fields={fields}
  &access_token={access-token}

And right there:

Data access authorization is controlled by your app users through the use of the permissions listed below. Users must grant your app these permissions through the Authorization Window before your app can access their data.
instagram_graph_user_profile - allows your app to read User node, which represents the Instagram user, and the node's edges.
instagram_graph_user_media - allows your app to read the Media node, which represents an image, video, or album, and the node's edges.
All permissions need to be approved for your app through the App Review process before they can be used in Live Mode.
Instagram User access tokens are short-lived access tokens and are only valid for 1 hour.

Old applications are still working, registration of new ones is closed. For the approval of permits there is a wagon and a small cart of requirements. And all just for me to display photos on the site? :)

Answer 1

I wrote a small library for such a case ( link to github ). It turned out to be only 2Kb and does not require access_token and client_id from Instagram.
