Instagram Graph API

The Instagram Graph API allows apps to access data in Instagram Business Accounts and Instagram Creator Accounts. By using the API, you can build apps that help Businesses and Creators manage their photos, videos, stories, albums, comments, and hashtags at scale, as well as measure social interactions with other Instagram users.

Common Uses

• getting and managing published photos, videos, and stories
• getting basic data about other Instagram Business users
• moderating comments and their replies
• measuring media and profile interaction
• discovering hashtagged media
• discovering @mentions
• publishing photos and videos (currently in closed beta)

Limitations

• The API cannot be used to access non-Business or non-Creator Instagram accounts. If you are building apps for non-Business or non-Creator Instagram users, use the Instagram Platform API instead.
• Currently, Business Discovery only returns data about Instagram Business Users.
• Content Publishing can only be used on behalf of Instagram Business Users.
