# Instagram (Graph API)

> How to set up Instagram Graph access through a Meta Business app and connect it to Nora.

Instagram's API runs on top of the Facebook Graph API — same Meta Business app, same access tokens, additional `instagram_*` scopes. The integration covers Instagram Business and Creator accounts (not personal accounts).

## Where to apply for credentials

Same flow as [Facebook](/guides/integrations/facebook):

<Steps>
  <Step title="Convert your Instagram account">
    Switch to a Business or Creator account in the Instagram app.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Connect to a Facebook Page">
    Link the Instagram account to a Facebook Page (via Instagram → Settings → Account → Linked
    accounts).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Find the Business Account ID">
    Use Graph API Explorer: `GET /<page-id>?fields=instagram_business_account` returns the Instagram business account ID.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Mint a token">
    Long-lived User or Page token with `instagram_basic`, `instagram_content_publish`, `pages_show_list`.
  </Step>
</Steps>
