Unlocking Instagram Integration- A Step-by-Step Guide to Connecting Your Instagram Account to Discord

How to Put Your Instagram on Discord

In today’s digital age, social media platforms like Instagram and Discord have become integral parts of our daily lives. While Instagram is a popular photo and video-sharing platform, Discord is a go-to communication app for gamers and communities. If you’re looking to integrate your Instagram account with Discord, here’s a step-by-step guide on how to put your Instagram on Discord.

Step 1: Create a Discord Bot

Before you can link your Instagram account to Discord, you need to create a Discord bot. This bot will serve as the bridge between your Instagram and Discord accounts. To create a bot, follow these steps:

1. Go to the Discord Developer Portal (https://discord.com/developers/applications).
2. Log in with your Discord account.
3. Click on the “New Application” button and give your app a name.
4. Click on the “Bot” tab and then click on “Add Bot”.
5. You will now see a “Bot Token” on the right side. Copy this token as you will need it later.

Step 2: Install the Instagram API

To access Instagram data, you need to install the Instagram API. Here’s how to do it:

1. Go to the Instagram Graph API website (https://developers.facebook.com/docs/instagram-api/).
2. Log in with your Facebook account.
3. Click on “Manage Access Tokens” and then click on “Add New App”.
4. Enter your app’s name, select your app’s platform, and click on “Create App”.
5. You will now see a “Client ID” and “Client Secret”. Copy these credentials as you will need them later.

Step 3: Set Up the Discord Bot

Now that you have your Discord bot and Instagram API, it’s time to set up the bot. Follow these steps:

1. Go to your Discord bot’s command page (https://discord.com/developers/applications/{your-app-id}/bot).
2. Click on “OAuth2” on the left side menu.
3. Under “Scopes”, check the boxes for “identify” and “connections”.
4. Click on “Save Changes”.
5. Go back to the bot command page and click on “Bot” on the left side menu.
6. Copy the bot’s token again as you will need it in the next step.

Step 4: Use a Discord Bot API

To integrate your Instagram account with Discord, you can use a Discord bot API like discord-oauth2. Here’s how to do it:

1. Go to the discord-oauth2 GitHub repository (https://github.com/justintv/django-discord-oauth2).
2. Follow the installation instructions provided in the repository.
3. Once installed, create a new project and add the discord-oauth2 app to your project.
4. Configure the app with your Instagram API credentials and Discord bot token.
5. Implement the necessary endpoints to fetch Instagram data and display it in your Discord server.

Step 5: Test Your Integration

After setting up the integration, it’s essential to test it to ensure everything is working correctly. Follow these steps:

1. Run your Django project.
2. Go to your Discord server and type the command `/instagram [username]` (replace [username] with your Instagram username).
3. If everything is set up correctly, you should see your Instagram profile picture and a link to your Instagram account in your Discord server.

Congratulations! You have successfully put your Instagram on Discord. Now, you can easily share your Instagram content with your Discord community.
