Getting Instagram Business Account media objects via Graph API

I am trying to use the Instagram Graph API to export the text and media from stories posted by an Instagram business account.

Following the docs here, they query the Facebook pages that the logged-in user has admin access to, then query for the associated Instagram business account, then query for that account’s media.

However, when I do this (while logged into my Facebook account) in the Graph API Explorer, it doesn’t list any pages, even though I am definitely an admin on the Facebook page in question. (I am listed as having “full control” in the business account.)

Why do I not have access?

  • Perhaps you did not select the page, when you granted the app permission to access your pages? Try and remove all granted permissions, and then add them again – it should ask you which pages you want to grant access to then in the login dialog.
