How to Setup an Instagram API and Identity for Stitchz

Stitchz allows a Page Manager of an Instagram Business Account to share and manage posts on their Feed. This means that in order to share on Instagram via Stitchz you must request a Facebook developer API key/secret and the appropriate permissions (scope) through Facebook. Follow the steps below to request an API key/secret and submit for review.

  1. Log into the Facebook developer portal with the account you plan to share posts, by going to https://developers.facebook.com/.
