How to generate Instagram Token? You can follow instructions on developers.facebook.com or you can follow my instructions below

Use your computer an login into your Facebook and Instagram accounts. If you don’t know, Facebook owns Instagram. If you want to show Instagram feed on your website, your Instargam profile has to be public.

1. Go to developers.facebook.com and you’ll see My Apps in the header.
