On this page I generate the access token and with it I can publish the image on my Instagram:
For publish:
function InstagramPost() {
const access_token = 'GENERATE ACESS TOKEN';
const instagram_business_account = 'YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY';
const image = 'https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/9/95/Test_image.jpg';
const text = 'Hello World';
var formData = {
'image_url': image,
'caption': text,
'access_token': access_token
};
var options = {
'method' : 'post',
'payload' : formData
};
const container = 'https://graph.facebook.com/v14.0/' + instagram_business_account + '/media';
const response = UrlFetchApp.fetch(container, options);
const creation = response.getContentText();
var data = JSON.parse(creation);
var creationId = data.id
var formDataPublish = {
'creation_id': creationId,
'access_token': access_token
};
var optionsPublish = {
'method' : 'post',
'payload' : formDataPublish
};
const sendinstagram = 'https://graph.facebook.com/v14.0/' + instagram_business_account + '/media_publish';
UrlFetchApp.fetch(sendinstagram, optionsPublish);
}
Now I want to take this access token and generate a long-lived one with it!
It asks for Instagram App Secret, but that path indicated (App Dashboard > Products > Instagram > Basic Display > Instagram App Secret)
doesn't exist in App Dashboard!
I tried using the App secret as a parameter:
"https://graph.instagram.com/access_token
?grant_type=ig_exchange_token
&client_secret={App Secret Key}
&access_token={short-lived-access-token}"
But this error occurs:
Sorry, this content isn't available right now
The Facebook API is 100% accessible, so that's not the problem.
There is a difference in approach between Basic Display and Instagram Graph API for Business Account.
So the way to convert a short-lived token to a long-lived token for Instagram Business Account is:
"https://graph.facebook.com/{graph-api-version}/oauth/access_token?
grant_type=fb_exchange_token&
client_id={app-id}&
client_secret={app-secret}&
fb_exchange_token={your-short-lived-access-token}"
Note that Instagram App Secret
is not used, instead, use App Id
and App Secret
.
