# Instagram Integration

#### Requirements

To access the Instagram API, you need to fulfill two requirements set by Facebook:

Your Instagram account must be a Professional account. This Instagram Professional account must be linked to a Facebook Page.

To address the problem, please follow the instructions provided in the guide created by Instagram: <https://help.instagram.com/570895513091465>

Please be aware that purchasing advertising on Facebook does not automatically satisfy these conditions.

#### How do I know if my Instagram account is Professional?

To verify that your Instagram account is set to Professional, point your browser to:

<https://www.instagram.com/{your\\_instgram\\_account\\_name}/> e.g. <https://www.instagram.com/conduit.app/>

Normally, you should be able to view and access [this section](https://www.instagram.com/accounts/professional_account_settings/):&#x20;

#### How do I know, that my account is connected to a Facebook Page?
