Instagram¶

Instagram uses OAuth v2 for Authentication.

• Register a new application at the Instagram API, and

• Add instagram backend to AUTHENTICATION_SETTINGS:

  AUTHENTICATION_SETTINGS = (
    ...
    'social_core.backends.instagram.InstagramOAuth2',
    ...
  )
  

• fill Client Id and Client Secret values in the settings:

  SOCIAL_AUTH_INSTAGRAM_KEY = ''
  SOCIAL_AUTH_INSTAGRAM_SECRET = ''
  

• extra scopes can be defined by using:

  SOCIAL_AUTH_INSTAGRAM_AUTH_EXTRA_ARGUMENTS = {'scope': 'likes comments relationships'}
