  scope: ['likes'],

Answer 1

You will need to URL encode the value of the redirect_uri parameter to http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%3A8000 to prevent that the scope parameter becomes a part of the redirect_uri value instead of the authorization request.

You'll also have to make sure that the redirect_uri matches exactly, including the last slash that you've registered it with.

So then authorization request becomes:

https://instagram.com/oauth/authorize?response_type=code&client_id=2fa4359e4340434786e469ab54b9b8c0&redirect_uri=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%3A8000%2F&scope=likes
