Unfortunately creating long lived access token is kindof a pain and we have to go through a whole login flow to get a short lived token, then request a long lived token.

Annoyingly the long lived token has to be refreshed every 2 months. So we may want to consider using some sort of vault that the code can update when it runs. Otherwise we'll need to run a script manually within every 2 months and update the github secret manually.

I belive we need an Instagram API setup with Instagram Login with Content Publishing permissions and access level Standard Access.

Acceptance Criteria:

  • Figure out and propose a solution which will let us make instagram posts via API key in a maintainable way
  • Document the process and update the README so that others who want to copy the project and do the same
  • Create new github issues based on that info
