Instagram is one of the most popular photos and image sharing social networking site which was taken over by Facebook in 2012. The billion dollars company has a massive base of users, more than 600 million to be precise.
The social networking platform provides an API which is used by the developers to develop Social login solutions for various platforms like PrestaShop, OpenCart, and Magento etc.
To use an Instagram social login on your site, first of all, you will need a social login module (PrestaShop, OpenCart, or Magento), and then the following Instagram API details to configure the module:
