    callback_url = 'http://www.callback_handlers_proxy.com/instagram/consumer'
)

raise InstagramAPIError(status_code, content_obj['meta']['error_type'], content_obj['meta']['error_message']) instagram.bind.InstagramAPIError: (400) APISubscriptionError-Invalid response

What's wrong with my code here?

Instagram sends you a GET request to your callback url which needs to respond with the hub.challenge parameter, which if you're using PHP, gets converted to hub_challenge in the actual GET stream (took me forever to figure that one out).

You can read about others discussing the problem here: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/instagram-api-developers/p3g3gHc890s
