March 2021

The Instagram Business data source has been upgraded to the Instagram Business API version 9.

August 2020

When a user has been granted a role by the Business Manager, that user must also have one of these other permissions: ads_managment, pages_read_engagement or business_management. While investigating an error reported by a user, it was discovered that the pages_read_engagment had not been included with the original release of this source. In addition, to be successful, the Instagram Business account should be connected to a Facebook Business Page. Users will need to reconnect to approve these added permissions.

July 2020 v 2.0 beta

The updated Instagram Graph API replaces the already deprecated original Instagram API. Panoply has now made this beta available for the public. We invite clients to add this updated data source to pull in your Instagram data into Panoply. For more information about using this data source, see Instagram Business.
