How to receive/send private messages on Instagram?

Question

Instagram

Hello! How to receive/send private messages on Instagram? I ran through the documentation , but I didn’t figure it out to the end, FB has a very confusing product infrastructure.

Did I understand correctly that Instagram has two APIs (Graph API and Instagram Basic Display API), but you can't access private messages (Direct) through them? Now FB is developing the Messenger API, which provides access to Instagram private messages, but for now the API is available to accounts with 10k+ subscribers. That is, at the moment (~ September 2021) there is no API with which you can access your private messages (Direct)?

What are the options for receiving private messages besides using Selenium or Instagram frameworks using Selenium?

Answer 1

in the same way as before we open the browser and look at requests to see how direct messages
are received;
