I have a server side application that read Instagram stories. The documentation here https://developers.facebook.com/docs/instagram-api/reference/ig-user/stories/ says that instagram_manage_insights is required to query stories. However my app review was rejected by facebook saying that for this permission they need a login. There is no login in a server side application and the documentation doesn't say anywhere that only applications with a front end can query stories. How can I work around that? It doesn't look that any other of the permissions allow me to query stories.

I have faced the same issue. In order to get permission (instagram_manage_insights), you actually need a login. Only with the login, FB can authenticate the user and the user can give their permission access to you to that you can use the Graph API to get their story.
