Currently building: Build #017 — Connecting an AI Agent to Instagram

Aug 15, 2026

    Tried connecting Instagram

    Started from the assumption that an agent could just log in the way I do. It cannot.

    Hit an authentication problem

    The request came back rejected. No token, no access.

    Learned why OAuth is required

    The platform will not take my password. It wants a token that says what the app may do, for how long.

    Changed approach

    Stopped trying to make the agent a user. Made it an app with scoped permissions instead.
