Instagram API to Graph API

I was using the Instagram API to get the last media from a client's account. But as you know, most of the capabilities are deprecated(retired...) now. So I tried the Facebook Graph API, but I don't understand how this works...

I tested with my FB account and a test Facebook Page. So I need to link my Facebook account with an Instagram Business account. But my problem is, what must I ask my client? I can't ask him his accounts... How am I supposed to do? Can't I just use my FB account and have permission to get media from another Instagram account?

Thank you!

Im not sure your question was fixed or not. So this one some step you need to do for using Graph API Instagram

  1. You need to create a APP on https://developers.facebook.com/apps/, This app have some permission for get data of Instagram. In Products part, You need to register 3 things

    • Instagram (Permission for get media of business account and mention media of @business account)
    • Wedhook (Facebook will return data for new @mention and comment in media of Instagram account which linked to your app),
    • Facebook Login (for login account and link your Instagram Business Account to your App).

enter image description here

  1. Change Instagram account to business Account, Graph API only accept to get data of a a Business Account and Mention media of that account. After changed, You need to link that account to a Page of Facebook (Setting -> Instagram) one Instagram account only connected to a Page. You can create multi Page to connect an other one

enter image description here

  1. Using Graph Api to link Your Page to Your App.

All of thing you need to do in here https://developers.facebook.com/docs/instagram-api/getting-started

Facebook is building this API so I think you need to update for any change logs of them.
