Instagram provider setup for Users & Permissions#

The Instagram Basic Display API is deprecated as of December 4, 2024. Strapi's built-in Instagram provider no longer works and requires updating to Meta's Instagram Business Login API instead.

The present page explains how to setup the Instagram provider for the Users & Permissions feature.

You have read the Users & Permissions providers documentation.

:::caution Deprecated provider
The Instagram Basic Display API was shut down by Meta on December 4, 2024. Strapi's built-in Instagram provider relies on this API and no longer works. Meta's replacement is the Instagram Business Login, which requires a different authentication flow. Until Strapi updates the provider implementation, Instagram authentication is not available out of the box. The setup steps below are kept for reference only.
