## Getting started

* Apps for the Instagram API can be [registered here](https://developers.facebook.com/apps)
* [Instagram Basic Display API docs](https://developers.facebook.com/docs/instagram-basic-display-api)
* [Instagram Basic Display API OAuth scopes](https://developers.facebook.com/docs/instagram-basic-display-api/overview/permissions) -> These scopes did not work for me. What worked was `user_profile` and `user_media`.
* [Instagram Graph API docs](https://developers.facebook.com/docs/instagram-api) (see below for how to add OAuth)

## API gotchas

* For the Basic Display API, the scope `user_profile` is mandatory. The only other available scope seems to be `user_media`.
* For access to the [Instagram Graph API](https://developers.facebook.com/docs/instagram-api), follow these steps:
  1. The Instagram Graph API uses [Facebook OAuth](/integrations/all/facebook) to authenticate the accounts. Add a provider config for it to Nango with the scopes [specified here](https://developers.facebook.com/docs/instagram-api/getting-started#2--implement-facebook-login).
  2. Once the login flow completes, you can [query the facebook API for the Instagram account details](https://developers.facebook.com/docs/instagram-api/getting-started#4--get-the-user-s-pages) (follow steps 4-6).
