The Instagram Graph API allows you to programmatically access Instagram Business Accounts so you can more easily manage media objects, view comments and metadata, and get insights and metrics, get hashtag data, mentions and more.

The Instagram Graph API is a standard REST API that supports basic CRUD operations. It works by checking a User's access token for any Facebook Page roles. If the User has a role on a Page, and that Page is connected to an Instagram Business Account, the User can grant your app permission to access the connected business account's data.
