To use the Instagram Feed element (@since 1.9.1<\/code>), you need an Instagram Basic Display API access token. This token allows secure retrieval of your Instagram account data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is a detailed guide to help you obtain this token through the Meta for Developers platform:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 1: Set up an application<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You first have to set up an application on the Meta for Developers platform by following these steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Access your Meta for Developers platform. You can use an existing account or create a new one<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Click “Create App”. A dialog window will appear, asking you to define your app’s functionalities. Select “Other” and click “Next”.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Select “None” to set the app permissions and click “Next”.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Step 2: Create your application<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Next, you need to provide specific details about your application:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • The name of the app. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • A contact email address. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Optionally, a link to a Business Manager Account if you have one.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Step 3: Set up Instagram Basic Display<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      Once your application is registered, the next step is configuring the Instagram Basic Display settings and adding a tester to generate the access token. Proceed as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      1. Choose “Set Up” under Instagram Basic Display. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
      2. In Basic Display settings, select “Create New App” at the bottom. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
      3. Use the name defined earlier as the app name; it will appear automatically.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

        Step 4: Generate the access token<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        It’s time to create an access token using an Instagram tester (your IG account). Follow these steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        1. Visit the Basic Display section, to which you’ll be automatically redirected after app creation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        2. Find and click the button in the “Add or Remove Instagram Testers” section. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
        3. Insert the Instagram User ID (IG username) of the account you wish to add as a tester.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
          \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
          \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
          \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

          Next, log into the Instagram account associated with the username you added:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \n
          1. Access the Instagram account. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
          2. Navigate to Settings > Apps and Websites, and select the “Tester Invites” tab. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
          3. Click “Accept” to confirm the invitation.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
            \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
            \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
            \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
            \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

            Next, return to the Meta for Developers dashboard:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              \n
            1. Locate your new app and proceed to Basic Display. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
            2. Scroll to the User Token Generator Section and click “Generate Token”. You might be asked to re-login to the Instagram account to authorize specific permissions before generating the token.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            3. Copy the access token from the pop-up window.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

              \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
              \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

              Step 5: Add the access token to Bricks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

              To finalize the setup, navigate to Bricks > Settings > API keys<\/code> from your WordPress dashboard and paste the access token into the Instagram Access Token<\/code> input field, and save your changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
