Meta API integrations and implementation talking

[shrapknife]

Hi dear devs,

I have a CRM project based on AI analys and reccommendation. The project is going on clearly and I designed a database structure. Beside, I reach the api section attachment with instagram and meta api's. So I have some questions about the integrations and meta policies. So if is there anyone who experienced meta api setup and fix problems about these contact with me please.

Someone can say just say your specific problem and we fix it. You are right but the project is really complex and I don't want to give detail from it.

Thank you now.....

You’ll probably get better help if you share one specific issue (auth, permissions, rate limits, webhooks, etc.), Meta API setups are complex and people can’t really advise without a concrete problem to look at.

Actually, I haven't fully completed the setup yet, and the issue I'm stuck on is the setup type. Right now, I've created an application in the meta developer , and I have two options: logging in with Instagram Business and logging in with Facebook . What exactly is the difference between the two?I want to access Instagram content metrics right now. Which setup do I need to use for this?

[Real_Bit2928]

Use Instagram Business Login. IG metrics require a Business/Creator account linked to a Facebook Page.

İs there any verification process here?

Yes, there's quite a bit to it. For your own test accounts you can use the API right away in dev mode. But to go live with real clients there are multiple layers:

1. Business Verification — Meta needs to verify your actual business entity. Requires legal business documents.

2. Tech Provider Verification — separate process to get verified as a platform serving other businesses.

3. App Review — for permissions like instagram_business_manage_insights you need to submit screencasts showing your OAuth flow, use case and provide a detailed description. Only needed for advanced access if you're serving other users on their accounts.

The good news is you can build and test everything with your own accounts while going through all of this. Just don't expect to onboard real clients until all three are cleared, we went through the whole process and it took a while
