Instagram access token

Screenshots Example:

To authorize Instafeed to fetch your media you’ll need to create a Facebook app, and add your Instagram user account as a test user:

The Instagram Basic Display API requires access tokens be refreshed at least every 60 days. You can’t create a token and paste it into your Instafeed option anymore – it will stop working when the token expires. Instafeed.js needs to be paired with a service which will keep your access token fresh. There are various ways to do this, depending on your skill level and environment. Learn more https://github.com/stevenschobert/instafeed.js/wiki/Managing-Access-Tokens

There’re two ways to keep your Instagram Basic Display API token fresh

  • – Using Instagram Token Agent, its FREE and require the Skill level
  • – Using 3rd service like Instant-Tokens.Com
  • General, Parallax and Parallax Background tab

    Please take a look the documentation here for more detail about these tabs settings
