How can I get an instagram business account with Facebook Graph API?

Question

• The condition I am using:
  Graph API version: 7.0

• The problem I have: I can get the Instagram business account of my Facebook developer account, However, I cannot get the Instagram business account when I login Facebook with another account. The account has the permissions below:

  1. The Instagram account is connected to its Facebook page.
  2. The Instagram account is a business profile.
  3. The Facebook account that I want to connect to Instagram account has the authorisation more than editor.

• I could get this: /me?fields=name,picture , but not /me/accounts?fields=instagram_business_account

I tried with this API: /me/accounts?fields=instagram_business_account{name,username,profile_picture_url},access_token,name,picture{url}', function(response) { } The response I got: { "data": [ ] }

Do I need additional authorisation or something?

Answer 1

Your App is most likely not public and and you need to go through the review process first - with all the permissions you need. Else, it will only work for users with a role in the App.

Also, the IG account must be a business account, and it must be connected to the Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/business/help/898752960195806

Answer 2

To get Instagram IDs linked to user's pages you need these permissions (verified and approved for your app): instagram_basic , pages_show_list , pages_read_engagement . You can read guide here https://developers.facebook.com/docs/instagram-api/getting-started Everything is correct on that page except extra permission needed to get IG ID: pages_read_engagement
