Create a Facebook Developer Account:

  • Complete the necessary setup steps, including verifying your account.

Create a Facebook App:

  • Click on the “My Apps” button and select “Create App” to start creating a new app.
  • Fill in the required information for your app, such as the name, purpose, and contact email.

Add Instagram to Your App:

  • After creating your app, go to the app dashboard.
  • In the left-hand menu, click on “Settings” and then “Basic.”
  • Scroll down to the “Add Platform” section and click on the “Set Up” button next to the Instagram logo.
  • Follow the instructions to connect your Instagram account to the app. This step requires you to have an Instagram account.

Configure App Settings:

  • Once your Instagram account is connected, go back to the app dashboard.
  • In the left-hand menu, click on “Instagram Basic Display.”
  • Under the “Basic Display” section, you’ll find a section called “Token Generation.” Click on the “Create Token” button.

Choose Permissions:

  • In the token generation window, you’ll see a list of permissions that your app can request from the Instagram Graph API.
  • Select the permissions that your blog requires to access Instagram data. Keep in mind that certain permissions may require additional review and approval from Facebook.

  • The generated access token will be displayed on the page.

Test and Use the Access Token:
