Instagram connection

Each 3 months, there's a need to revalidate and change the Instagram token.

How to get the Instagram token?

Read the docs if lost

CLIENT_ID = Instagram App ID - Basic display CLIENT_SECRET = Instagram App secret

1. Authenticate test user - [GET] https://api.instagram.com/oauth/authorize?client_id={CLIENT_ID}&redirect_uri={REDIRECT_URL}&scope=user_profile,user_media&response_type=code

2. Exchange the Code for a short-lived token - [POST] https://api.instagram.com/oauth/access_token

   • client_id: Instagram app ID
   • client_secret: Instagram app secret
   • grant_type: authorization_code
   • redirect_uri
   • code: code (response) from step 4 (withouth hashtah and underscore)

3. Get a long-lived token - [GET] https://graph.instagram.com/access_token?grant_type=ig_exchange_token&client_secret={IG_APP_SECRET}&access_token={SHORT_LIVED_TOKEN}

4. Refresh a long-lived token - [GET] https://graph.instagram.com/refresh_access_token?grant_type=ig_refresh_token&access_token={LONG_LIVED_TOKEN} (when long-lived token expired, need to go all the way from the start)
