i need help with instagram integration..
so basically i want to create an instagram integration from my website.
I already prepare:
Change my instagram app to business/creator account
Connect to facebook from "edit profile"
Create a page that has similar name with IG acc
and here is the reference that i want to build, https://kol.lemon.cm/settings/connect-social-media
i tried to use the login button from developers.facebook.com, but i dont have any "onboarding steps" like the way the website has it.
And the access token that is generated from that site can successfully getting my instagram data, while from my access token, i can't get any facebook page connected with it

[Second step using touch.facebook.com](https://i.stack.imgur.com/P4YJv.png)
[Third step using touch.facebook.com](https://i.stack.imgur.com/MpdPN.png)
if i use fblogin from developers.facebook.com, i dont get any onboarding page like that, which i found it very helpful for my users to complete the instagram integration
I already implement the facebook login, and already got the access token but still cant get the data from instagram integration process.. while in that site, it can give me the data from instagram integration process
I wanted to create a recommendation engine. I have a business page in facebook. I want to fetch the user names/user id and extra information of the persons who have liked the posts (like how google analytics gives for the website viewers). As far as i analysed, Facebook Graph API gives the count of the likes,comments etc.Could i get the user id's and timestamp of the person who have liked the posts along with the count
I would like to update the like_count and comments_count for a specific instagram post with the new Facebook Instagram API. We have the post id and other data stored in our database and would only need the data of that specific post. At this point I am able to get the like and comment count via this API call:
https://graph.facebook.com/v2.12/xxxx?fields=business_discovery.username(jacqehoward){id,name,username,website,profile_picture_url,biography,followers_count,media_count,media.after(QVFIUlZA5aTR5NTE4Y24tNW90VGZAPTVBtb0NpOEFPTlNLeklmVTEtUDZAfVnE0YnBhUVNOQ3BDaktzNHJBTENhTmVYLUV2SGJPZAVAxZA09hQ2NhUGdnUGFjMTNn){id,caption,comments_count,like_count,media_type,media_url,owner,timestamp}}
After a while new posts are added to the account and you would need to go through all of the posts to find them again and to be able to get the like & comments count. In the old Instagram API you could get like and comment count per media. In the new Instagram API you are only able to get reach or "engagement" which is a combination of likes and comments while I want to have them separately.
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/instagram-api/insights
Anyone who has an idea how to add like count and comments count to the insight endpoint call?
Second question: If an instagram user with a private instagram account connects with your app how do you get the Facebook instagram ID so you can collect the posts on their timeline?
I'm trying to access the media of my Instagram business account through Facebook Graph API. I'm following this guide:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/instagram-api/getting-started/
I've set up everything as requested: I have an Instagram business account, a Facebook page connected to this account and a Facebook app.
In step 5, when I try to get the Instagram Account ID with
GET /v3.0/{page id}?fields=instagram_business_account
the response I get looks different than the one in the guide. The Instagram business account field is missing, I only get back the ID of the Facebook page, which I already have.
Does anyone have an idea what could be wrong here?
Try the query below with the manage_pages permission.
/v3.0/me/accounts?fields=name,id,access_token,instagram_business_account{id,username,profile_picture_url}
I'm going through the review process and having trouble understand the permissions required to
Get Instagram Business Accounts
Subscribe to instagram_story_insights webhook
I only manage to get 1. by having the manage_pages permission. But I don't want to manage pages, just want to get the Instagram Business Accounts and request insights, feed and profile.
For 2. I only find the /subscribe endpoint and that requires a Facebook Page access token and that is only available with the manage_pages permission.
I was facing this issue since last 2 days and it was started suddenly.
I was able to resolve this issue by doing below steps.
Convert back your Instagram business account to personal account.
Now Convert your personal account to business account through the only facebook web not on instagram native app.
Important: We need to convert personal account to business account through the only facebook.
Hopefully you've figured this out by now. I had the exact same problem as you did where I would only get the id of my page.
The solution was adding the correct permissions to the user access token.
You will need to use a user access token with manage_pages and instagram_basic permissions when you make API calls to
GET /v3.0/{page id}?fields=instagram_business_account
We found that this happens for 2 reasons:
Instagram profile was not associated with Facebook page correctly (i.e. person converted did not have access to your page).
The person who converted Instagram to business and connected to the page is no longer an admin of the page
You connected your page and Instagram using Facebook page settings - that screen definitely does not work.
Make sure that your app has approved business_management permission and that you are asking for it when users authenticate facebook.
In all cases, converting instagram back to personal and then reconverting it to business fixes the issue.
Facebook Graph API 4.0 Only Supports Instagram Business Account. Creator instagram account doesn't work on graph api .

I was able to resolve this by going to the Facebook Page > Settings > Instagram and there I was prompted to "Review connection." I recently added the Instagram account "asset" to a user of our business account, so maybe that caused some need for the connection between the FB Page and IG account to be reviewed. I never received a notification from FB about this and I banged my head against the wall for over a day trying to debug this.
Given the Facebook account has a page (with {page id}) linked to the Instagram account. We managed to obtain ids via Browser (HTTPS Get) with
https://graph.facebook.com/v3.0/{page_id}?fields=instagram_business_account& access_token={Access token with the right permissions}
The token was manually generated using Facebook's Graph Explorer
https://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer/v2/
Choose "User Token" option and Add the permissions "business_management", "manage_pages" and "instagram_basic" via the UI. Hit "Get Access Token" button to generate the token to be used with the "instagram_business_account" url query above.
To get images from the linked Facebook page, we currently do
https://graph.facebook.com/v3.0/{instagram_business_account}/media?fields=id,name,media_url,media_type,timestamp&access_token={Access token with the right permissions}
BTW, our Facebook account does have an app created under it so we could choose this app in the Facebook Graph API Explorer tool when the UI asked for it.
With the right permissions, one can covert these steps into code.
I am facing the same issue and I think thats because one of these two reasons:
the Graph API has updated its policy and requires all apps to undergo Business verification, which is part of the App Review process. Once your app gets verified then you can make those calls.
Your app is in live mode. Switch it off so it comes in development mode from your app dashboard. now you have access to all the api calls. Select the manage_pages and instagram_basic permissions from the graph api explorer. Now you can make the request.
I was facing same issue but i found the solution. At start be sure your instagram account should business account or Creator account.
And then link it with facebook from Facebook web.
Error only come when we use our personal account instead of Creator or Business.
This is my output now.
Add one more permission to your auth request: pages_read_engagement. No need to have manage_pages or public contents access to get Instagram ID.
I faced the same problem and I have resolved it. Follow the following steps to get the Instagram business ID.
(assuming that you already have an access token)
Step 1: Get the Facebook ID first [ GET v11.0/me?access_token={your_access_token} ]
{
"name": "your facebook page name",
"id": "facebook_page_id"
}
Step 2: Make sure that manage_pages , business_management and instagram_basic permissions are enabled. Can be easily done using Graph API Explorer.
Step 3: Using the Facebook ID we can obtain the Instagram business ID [ GET /v11.0/{facebook_page_id}?fields=instagram_business_account?access_token={your_access_token} ]
{
"instagram_business_account": {
"id": "insta_business_id"
}
}
Step 4: In case you are getting only Facebook ID after hitting the endpoint as mentioned in Step 3 then, using your mobile device switch back to your personal account. Again, enable the business account and make the HTTP request again. This method worked for me in getting the Instagram business id.
Finally solved it. Here is what I did to accomplish it.
I' not using business manager. The problem I was facing because my facebook account was not properly connected to instagram account. I thought I created instagram account with my facebook account so they were connected somehow. It was not the issues. Switching instagram account to business won't work. You need to connect your instagram account to your facebook business page.
Go to your pagee
Go to your page settings
Find instagram > you'll see connect. Here I had some problem connecting to instagram from here by logging in with facebook won't work. Do the traditional email password connection.
Last step if successfully connected it will ask you to switch your account. Click on button and done.
After an entire day searching the web (to no use) and reading Facebook/Instagram API docs (which is sometime misleading) I still could not successfully get the Instagram Business Account ID to make requests that use it, like the ig_hashtag_search request.
That's when I decided to ignore everything on the web, trust God, and start using Graph API Explorer's auto complete to try and make some sense of the whole thing!
It finally worked!
Before getting to the actual steps, make sure both Facebook and Instagram accounts are properly configured as business accounts! I don't know if it is a bug in the Brazilian version of Instagram's website, but the process to convert a regular Instagram account to a business account could only be completed using the native Instagram Android app. Specially the part where you link your Instagram account to a Facebook page that should already exist, and that should already have been created using Meta Business Suite.
Again, for me, as of today, the Public Business Information section was missing from the Brazilian version of Instagram's website!
After having configured and properly linked the accounts, it is possible to make the calls using Graph API v12.0.
Step 1
Access the Graph API Explorer.
Step 2
Add the following permissions:
ads_management
business_management
instagram_basic
public_profile
Step 3
Generate the Access Token using the button on the screen (in the popup, be sure to log in using a Facebook account that has both Facebook Business and Instagram Business accounts properly linked and configured).
Step 4
After obtaining the Access Token, get all Businesses IDs:
GET https://graph.facebook.com/v12.0/me/businesses?access_token=xxx
In the Graph API Explorer, you must type only this:
me/businesses
The response should be something like this:
{
"data": [
{
"id": "BUSINESS_ID",
"name": "Business Name"
}
],
...
}
Step 5
Use the BUSINESS_ID to finally get the Instagram Business Account ID:
GET https://graph.facebook.com/v12.0/BUSINESS_ID/instagram_business_accounts?access_token=xxx
In the Graph API Explorer, you must type only this:
BUSINESS_ID/instagram_business_accounts
The response should be something like this:
{
"data": [
{
"id": "INSTAGRAM_BUSINESS_ACCOUNT_ID"
}
],
...
}
And that's it!
If everything worked as expected, you can use this INSTAGRAM_BUSINESS_ACCOUNT_ID to make the desired requests, such as ig_hashtag_search or recent_media requests:
GET https://graph.facebook.com/v12.0/ig_hashtag_search?user_id=INSTAGRAM_BUSINESS_ACCOUNT_ID&q=DESIRED_HASHTAG&access_token=xxx
In the Graph API Explorer, you must type only this:
ig_hashtag_search?user_id=INSTAGRAM_BUSINESS_ACCOUNT_ID&q=DESIRED_HASHTAG
The response should be something like this:
{
"data": [
{
"id": "HASHTAG_ID"
}
]
}
Hope to have helped! 🙏
i've noticed that there are some photos that doesn't appear in any albums. This photos are published by fan on a facebook page.
Is there any way to get this photos by the API ?
The API call /feed returns all the posts of the wall, but many of this photo that i seen in the wall on browser doesn't appear in the response of the API.
Any idea ?
Try using below
https://graph.facebook.com/<YOUR_PAGE_NAME>/picture
Hope this help
Kaushik
I use
graph.facebook.com/PAGEID/photos
Permissions Needed: user_photo_video_tags or friends_photo_video_tags.
refer to: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/user/ user photos
http://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer/?method=GET&path=me%2Fphotos
I have a live example of this usage is you wish to test. it is an iframe plugin that feeds the photos for a page. "is not set up for users".
Just replace "anotherfeed" page user name with any page.
https://anotherfeed.com/api.beta.php?type=photos&pageid=anotherfeed&width=350&height=500&limit=20&offset=0
