We considered using this client a year or so ago, due to Instagram/Facebook's reluctance to provide an API for Instagram Direct Messages, but eventually decided against it given some horror stories about ban sticks and them possibly shutting off access to the API some day.

Guess that day is here.

Seriously though, we've been waiting years for an Instagram DM API. Anyone know why they haven't yet released one?

Because it would immediately be leveraged for spam?
