Instagram API with Instagram Login
The Instagram API with Instagram Login allows Instagram professionals — businesses and creators — to use your app to manage their presence on Instagram. The API can be used to:
- Messaging – Send and receive messages with customers or people interested in their Instagram account
- Comment moderation – Manage and reply to comments on their media
- Content publishing – Get and publish their media
- Mentions – Identify media where they have been @mentioned by other Instagram users
Note: This API setup does not require a Facebook Page to be linked to the Instagram professional account.
To ensure consistency between scope values and permission names, we are introducing new scope values for the Instagram API with Instagram login. The new scope values are:
instagram_business_basicinstagram_business_content_publishinstagram_business_manage_messagesinstagram_business_manage_comments
These will replace the existing business_basic, business_content_publish, business_manage_comments and business_manage_messages scope values, respectively.
Please note that the old scope values will be deprecated on January 27, 2025. It is essential to update your code before this date to avoid any disruption in your app's functionality. Failure to do so will result in your app being unable to call the Instagram endpoints.
Limitations
- This API setup cannot access ads, insights, or tagging
