- Create a app
- Go to the Graph API Explorer
- Select your App from the top right dropdown menu
- Select "Get User Access Token" from dropdown (right of access token field) and select needed permissions (manage_pages, pages_show_list, instagram_basic)
- Copy user access token
- Access Token Debugger:
- Paste copied token and press "Debug"
- Press "Extend Access Token" and copy the generated long-lived user access token
- Graph API Explorer:
- Paste copied token into the "Access Token" field
- Make a GET request with "PAGE_ID?fields=access_token" (How to find your Page ID)
- Find the permanent page access token in the response (node "access_token")
- Access Token Debugger:
- Paste the permanent token and press "Debug"
- "Expires" should be "Never"
- Copy the access token
- Graph API Explorer:

Now create a .env
file at the root of the project with the following content:
BUSINESS_ID=YOUR_ID
ACCESS_TOKEN=YOUR_TOKEN
You can paste your access token and Business ID there.
- Create a new folder in
content/projects
and place your images there - Add your project to the
content/projects/projects.yaml
file
Create a new .tsx
file in the src/pages
directory
You can add other features by having a look at the official plugins page

Copy the content of the public
folder to your webhost or use a website like Netlify which automates that for you.
