Instagram started providing access to its Content Publishing API publicly. The API supports scheduling and publishing single photos or single videos for Instagram business accounts.

Photo Requirements for automatic publishing:

  • Maximum file size: 8 MB

  • Minimum width: 320 px

  • Maximum width: 1440 px

  • Aspect ratio: Must be within a 4:5 (portrait) to 1.91:1 (landscape) range

  • Height: Varies, depending on width and aspect ratio

  • Formats: JPG, JPEG

  • Find official detailed instructions from FB here.

๐Ÿ”ด If you created a post and you were offered only MANUAL publishing option, it means that some of the requirements are not met.

Example

Here is a little help:

Note: Requirements for photos published manually are given by the native Instagram application. ๐Ÿ’ก
