## FAQs

**Q:** What can I do with the Instagram Graph API?
**A:** You can programmatically manage and analyze Instagram Business/Creator accounts connected to a Facebook Page. Common tasks include fetching media, captions, comments, replies, hashtag search (for eligible apps), and insights (reach, impressions, engagement). You can also publish media (with the appropriate permissions), moderate comments, and subscribe to webhooks for near-real-time updates.

**Q:** How do I get started with the Instagram API?
**A:** Create a Meta app in the Meta for Developers dashboard, add the Instagram product, connect a Facebook Page and an Instagram Business/Creator account, request the required permissions (e.g., `instagram_basic`, `pages_show_list`, `instagram_manage_insights`, etc.), complete App Review if needed, and use the provided OAuth flow to obtain access tokens. Then call the endpoints using the included scripts (Node.js/Python) in this repo.

**Q:** Are there different types of Instagram APIs?
**A:** Yes. The two official categories are **Instagram Graph API** (for Business/Creator accounts—analytics, moderation, publishing, webhooks) and **Instagram Basic Display API** (for consumer login and basic profile/media read—no publishing/insights). Anything labeled “private API” is unofficial and unsupported, and may violate Terms of Use.
