FAQs
What Are the Requirements for IG Connect 2?
To use IG Connect 2, you need the following:
1. Ability to Generate an Access Token
Displaying media outside of Instagram requires user permission through an access token (a unique key).
- You must log in to the Instagram account at instagram.com to verify permission and generate an access token.
- IG Connect 2 or 1LD will never require you to supply an account’s login credentials.
2. A Professional Instagram Account
Access tokens can only be generated for professional Instagram accounts.
- Professional accounts are free.
- Personal accounts will be prompted to convert during the token generation process.
3. Access Token Maintenance
Access tokens must be refreshed every 60 days to maintain permissions.
- IG Connect handles this automatically by refreshing the token whenever the page is viewed.
- In the rare case the page is not viewed/previewed by a single visitor or administrator in 60 days, the token will expire, and new posts will no longer display.
- To resolve this, simply generate a new token and replace the expired one.
What’s New for IG Connect 2?

- Filter by hashtag or keyword from an account’s latest 2000 posts (up from 500).

What Is an Instagram Access Token?
An Instagram Access Token is a unique key that allows IG Connect 2 to securely access Instagram data on behalf of a user. The token is created when a user authorizes access to their Instagram account, granting temporary permission for interaction with Instagram’s API. This process ensures data security and user consent.
Who Can Generate an Access Token?
You can either generate the token yourself or request assistance from 1LD. Here's how:
Manual Generation (Recommended):
- Create a Facebook Developer Account and follow a simple, codeless step-by-step process.
- Use your developer account to instantly generate an access token.
- Once set up, you can generate tokens for multiple Instagram accounts without repeating the setup process.
Generation via 1LD:
- Contact 1LD support and provide the name of the Instagram account to connect.
- 1LD will send an invite to the specified Instagram account within 1-2 business days.
- Log in to the Instagram account and accept the invite.
- Use 1LD’s generator to create the token.
- This process must be repeated for every new Instagram account you wish to connect.
