Instagram Integration

📘 Instagram API Integration – Step-by-Step Guide

To integrate Instagram Feed into your WordPress plugin or app using the Meta for Developers platform, follow these detailed instructions.

✅ Step 1: Create a New App on Meta Developer

1. Login to Facebook Developers Console
   Use the Facebook account that manages your Meta Business/Instagram page.
2. Click on “Create App”
   On the top-right corner, click the green “Create App” button

1. Select App Type
   You’ll be asked to choose an app type.
   • Select Other under Use Cases
   • Click Next

1. Choose Business as App Type
   Select Business so the app can manage Instagram assets and permissions

1. Enter App Details
   • App Name: e.g., Topper feed
   • App Contact Email: Your active email address
   • Business Portfolio (optional)
     Click Create App to proceed

✅ Step 2: Add Instagram to Your App

1. Inside your new app dashboard, scroll down to Add Products to Your App.
2. Locate Instagram and click Set Up

✅ Step 3: Generate Access Token

1. In the Instagram product settings, go to 1. Generate access tokens.
2. Click the Add Account button

1. A pop-up will prompt you to log in to your Instagram account.
   • Make sure your account is a Professional account (Creator or Business).
   • If it’s a personal account, Instagram will prompt you to convert it.
2. Click Continue

1. On the next screen, Instagram will request permissions.
   • Click Allow to grant app access to your Instagram profile and media

✅ Step 4: Copy Access Token

1. After authorizing the app, your Instagram Access Token will be generated.
2. Copy the token immediately – it will not be shown again for security reasons.
3. Check the “I Understand” box and click Done to complete.

✅ Step 5: Paste in Plugin

Now that you have your Access Token, return to your plugin’s dashboard (like Topper Pack → API Settings) and paste the access token into the Instagram Integration fields.

This enables the Instagram Feed widget to display your profile’s photos, reels, or videos dynamically on your site.
