Get user's instagram likes

I've authenticated my personal account:

https://api.instagram.com/v1/users/self/media/liked?access_token=ACCESS-TOKEN

But it returns this:

{
pagination: { },
meta: {
code: 200
},
data: [ ]
}

The 200 code is supposedly a success, and I've liked 3 images, in the past 5 months, but they are not showing up in the data set. Why?

I also have the likes scope authorized. Not sure if that's necessary though?

Your API call is correct and as you noted you're not getting any errors. The problem is likely the data you are expecting isn't there. Notice in the documentation for that API method that it says

Get the list of recent media liked by the owner of the access_token.

I suspect that either your data is too old (you said the past 5 months) and this may not fall under "recent media liked". Alternatively perhaps you are looking at a different user than you thought etc...

The likes scope is not necessary. You only need public_content scope for this API method.
