Many of these endpoints were scheduled for retirement in July and December of this year. Developers were NOT notified in advance that they would be abruptly shut down today. I also believe this is a reaction to all the recent privacy issues that Facebook is facing. They identified Instagram as a huge risk for behavioral mining (it is) and abruptly shut down all features that can be used to analyze behavior and infringe on privacy at a large scale.
