Ask HN: Has anyone managed to pass Meta's Access Verification?

After spending a few months building out a new project that relies on the Instagram Graph API I'm struggling to pass Meta's Access Verification for Tech Providers.

We passed the app verification and business verification fairly easily, but we're stuck getting access verification. It feels like Meta is automatically denying us access without telling us explicitly what they are looking for or what we are missing from our answers. We keep getting knocked back with the same reply asking for:

   1. Add details about how your business will use Platform Data (i.e., any info or data you obtain from us) to enable a product or service on behalf of your clients.

   2. Describe how your clients use your product or service.

All we really need is to use Instagram OAuth to retrieve the username from the authorised user. My replies have gone into depth explaining this to Meta, including how we use the username (we save it against a user model in our database) and instructions for users to delete their accounts. But nothing seems to be enough.

Has anyone had experience with this and can shed some light on what I might be doing wrong?

Thanks!
