I’ve sent this URL via post:

https://api.instagram.com/v1/users/XXX/relationship?action=unfollow&access_token=YYY

XXX is a valid userid, I’ve checked that multiple times. The token (YYY) is correct too.

This is the response:

{"meta":{"error_type":"APIInvalidParametersError","code":400,"error_message":"please supply action=approve,ignore,follow,block,unblock,unfollow"}}

I’ve tried action=follow and action=unfollow. Is it possible, that this is a bug? Where can I report it?

    The problem is that you are not sending the action as postdata. I had the exact problem just yesterday.

    The access_token should be sent in the url, but the action=follow should be in the postdata of the request!
