title: How do you get access_token for standard access level in Instagram graph API?
body: <p>I have an Instagram business app which uses only the administrator account to crawl recent_media using hashtag search API.</p>
  <p>I've been using it for monthes and today it suddenly stopped working.</p>
  <p>I'm trying to get this thing running again but I'm stuck at getting access_token for my admin account.</p>
  <p>The last time I generated user token for the administrator account by using the graph API explorer since no public users are using this functionality.</p>
  <p>But Now when I try to get the token for the instagram business account, I'm stuck at step 5 of <a href="https://developers.facebook.com/docs/instagram-api/getting-started" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://developers.facebook.com/docs/instagram-api/getting-started</a></p>
  <pre><code>{
  &quot;instagram_business_account&quot;: {
  &quot;id&quot;: &quot;17841405822304914&quot;  // Connected IG User ID
  },
  &quot;id&quot;: &quot;134895793791914&quot;  // Facebook Page ID
  }
  </code></pre>
  <p>where instagram_business_account field is missing in my response.</p>
  <p>For now I'm thinking that might be because the token I made from graph API explorer does not contain instagram_basic permission.</p>
  <p>As far as I read, accounts with roles in business app should be able to ask for instagram_basic since business app has standard level access but there's nowhere to ask for that permission in the graph API explorer.(+ I'm sure I had that permission since my business app's usage report shows that I've been using instagram_basic. And this thing did not exist the 2 monthes ago when I put my last access token.)</p>
  <p>When I try to set up a naive facebook login with scope=instagram_basic it warns me that my app has no permission. This is also quite annoying since some other permissions with only standard access level like ads_management is working alright when given as scope value.</p>
  <p>So the question is
  1 why is my instagram_business_account not visible at step 5 of that token generation?
  2 if that's because I don't have instagram_basic permission, how do I generate a token with instagram_basic permission only for users with roles?</p>
  <p>Thanks for your time.</p>
