Hit ‘Register’ and your Instagram will be created. You can see it in your ‘Manage Clients’ dashboard. Click on ‘Manage’ on the top right of your app.
Click on 'Manage'. Here you have the Client ID and Client Secret which you need to add to your OAuth.io dashboard.
2. Create oauth.io Account
Create an account on OAuth.io.
On the main dashboard, add the domain name of the webpage where you will the social login button into ‘Domain & URL whitelist’
Click on 'Integrated APIs' on the left menu.
On the 'Integration APIs' dashboard, click 'Add APIs'.
Select 'Instagram' as the OAuth provider that you want to add.
3. Link Instagram app keys to oauth.io account
From your Instagram app page, copy the Instagram ‘Client ID’ and 'Client Secret' that you noted earlier into 'clientid', and 'clientsecret' fields, respectively, select your desired scope and then click 'Save'.
Click on 'Try Auth' to see if you have configured OAuth.io to access your Instagram app correctly.
