How can I get an instagram business account with Facebook Graph API?

  • The condition I am using:
    Graph API version: 7.0

  • The problem I have: I can get the Instagram business account of my Facebook developer account,
    However, I cannot get the Instagram business account when I login Facebook with another account.
    The account has the permissions below:

    1. The Instagram account is connected to its Facebook page.
    2. The Instagram account is a business profile.
    3. The Facebook account that I want to connect to Instagram account has the authorisation more than editor.

  • I could get this:
    /me?fields=name,picture, but not
    /me/accounts?fields=instagram_business_account

I tried with this API:
/me/accounts?fields=instagram_business_account{name,username,profile_picture_url},access_token,name,picture{url}', function(response) { }
The response I got:
{ "data": [ ] }

Do I need additional authorisation or something?

    Your App is most likely not public and and you need to go through the review process first – with all the permissions you need. Else, it will only work for users with a role in the App.

    Also, the IG account must be a business account, and it must be connected to the Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/business/help/898752960195806

    To get Instagram IDs linked to user’s pages you need these permissions (verified and approved for your app): instagram_basic, pages_show_list, pages_read_engagement.
    You can read guide here https://developers.facebook.com/docs/instagram-api/getting-started
    Everything is correct on that page except extra permission needed to get IG ID: pages_read_engagement
