Overview

This skill integrates with Instagram to post content, manage stories, and analyze engagement. It provides programmatic access to publish photos and videos, moderate comments, and retrieve follower and post insights. The skill is designed for automation, backups, and analytics workflows for creators and social teams.

How this skill works

The skill uses an Instagram access token to authenticate API requests and perform actions on the connected account. It exposes endpoints to create posts and stories, fetch insights and follower metrics, and list or moderate comments. Commands map to common tasks like publishing media, pulling analytics, or performing hashtag research.

When to use it

Automate recurring posts and story scheduling for a brand account
Backup all published media and captions for archival purposes
Monitor comments and moderate conversations at scale
Collect follower and post insights for performance reports
Research hashtags and engagement trends before campaigns

Best practices

Store and rotate the INSTAGRAM_ACCESS_TOKEN securely in environment variables
Batch media uploads and schedule posting to avoid rate limits
Fetch insights periodically rather than continuously to reduce API load
Combine comment moderation with keyword filters to handle high volume
Use hashtag research results to refine posting strategy and A/B test

Example use cases

Post a photo or video with a caption and location tag via a single command
Publish a sequence of stories and attach swipe-up links or stickers
Export weekly follower growth, impressions, and engagement rates for reporting
List recent comments and bulk-delete or reply to flagged items
Run hashtag research to compare reach and engagement potential across tags
