TLDR Facebook-owned Instagram has taken down an independently developed API claiming that it violates the anti-circumvention provisions of the DMCA. Instagram claims that the tool 'Instagram-API' allows unauthorized access to Instagram users' posts, which the company says are copyrighted works.

Instagram-API is code that was designed to emulate the official Instagram mobile app, allowing users to send and receive data.via the TL;DR App
