Setup Guide
Step 1: Create a Meta Developer App
All platforms (Instagram, Threads) require a Meta Developer App.
- Go to developers.facebook.com and log in
- Click "My Apps" → "Create App"
- Select "Other" → "Business" (or "None" for personal use)
- Enter an app name and create
Your META_APP_ID and META_APP_SECRET are in App Settings → Basic.
Step 2: Instagram Setup
Requires an Instagram Business or Creator account. Switch for free in Instagram app → Settings → Account type.
- In your Meta App, go to "Add Products" → add "Instagram Graph API"
- Go to "Instagram Graph API" → "Settings" and connect your Instagram Business account via a Facebook Page
- Open the Graph API Explorer
- Select your app
- Add permissions:
instagram_basic, instagram_content_publish, instagram_manage_comments, instagram_manage_insights, instagram_manage_contents, instagram_manage_messages, pages_show_list, pages_read_engagement, pages_manage_metadata
- Click "Generate Access Token" and authorize
- The generated token is short-lived (~1 hour). Exchange it for a long-lived token (~60 days):
GET https://graph.facebook.com/v26.0/oauth/access_token
?grant_type=fb_exchange_token
&client_id=YOUR_APP_ID
&client_secret=YOUR_APP_SECRET
&fb_exchange_token=SHORT_LIVED_TOKEN
Or use the meta_exchange_token tool after setup.
- Get your Instagram User ID — call this with your token:
GET https://graph.facebook.com/v26.0/me/accounts?fields=id,name,access_token&access_token=YOUR_TOKEN
This returns your Facebook Pages. For each page, get the linked Instagram account:GET https://graph.facebook.com/v26.0/{page-id}?fields=instagram_business_account&access_token=YOUR_TOKEN
The instagram_business_account.id is your INSTAGRAM_USER_ID (a numeric ID like 17841400123456789).
For the DM tools, the matching Page's id is INSTAGRAM_PAGE_ID and its
access_token is INSTAGRAM_MESSAGING_ACCESS_TOKEN. Do not use the IG User
ID or the user token in their place.
Step 3: Threads Setup
Works with any Threads account (personal or business). Instagram account link is no longer required since September 2025.
- In your Meta App, go to "Add Products" → add "Threads API"
- Go to "Threads API" → "Settings":
- Add your Threads account as a Threads Tester under "Roles"
- Accept the invitation in the Threads app: Settings → Account → Website permissions → Invites
- Generate an authorization URL:
https://threads.net/oauth/authorize
?client_id=YOUR_APP_ID
&redirect_uri=YOUR_REDIRECT_URI
&scope=threads_basic,threads_content_publish,threads_manage_insights,threads_manage_replies,threads_read_replies,threads_keyword_search,threads_manage_mentions,threads_delete,threads_location_tagging,threads_profile_discovery
&response_type=code
- For local testing, use
https://localhost/ as redirect URI (configure in App Settings → Threads API → Redirect URIs)
- After authorization, exchange the code for an access token:
POST https://graph.threads.net/oauth/access_token
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
client_id=YOUR_APP_ID
&client_secret=YOUR_APP_SECRET
&grant_type=authorization_code
&redirect_uri=YOUR_REDIRECT_URI
&code=AUTHORIZATION_CODE
- Exchange for a long-lived token (~60 days):
GET https://graph.threads.net/access_token
?grant_type=th_exchange_token
&client_secret=YOUR_APP_SECRET
&access_token=SHORT_LIVED_TOKEN
- Get your Threads User ID — call this with your token:
GET https://graph.threads.net/v1.0/me?fields=id,username&access_token=YOUR_TOKEN
The id field is your THREADS_USER_ID (a numeric ID like 1234567890).
Step 4: Configure Environment Variables
Set only the variables for the platforms you use:
# Instagram (requires Business/Creator account)
INSTAGRAM_ACCESS_TOKEN=EAAxxxxxxx... # Long-lived token from Step 2
INSTAGRAM_USER_ID=17841400123456789 # Numeric ID from Step 2.5
INSTAGRAM_MESSAGING_ACCESS_TOKEN=EAA... # Page token from Step 2.5 (DM tools only)
INSTAGRAM_PAGE_ID=123456789012345 # Linked Facebook Page ID (DM tools only)
# Threads (any account)
THREADS_ACCESS_TOKEN=THQWxxxxxxx... # Long-lived token from Step 3
THREADS_USER_ID=1234567890 # Numeric ID from Step 3.6
# Meta App (for token management & webhooks)
META_APP_ID=123456789012345 # From App Settings → Basic
META_APP_SECRET=abcdef0123456789abcdef # From App Settings → Basic
Token Renewal
Access tokens expire after ~60 days. Refresh before expiration:
You can check token status anytime with meta_debug_token.
