Setup guide
Follow our step-by-step Instagram Business setup guide to connect Instagram with your destination using Fivetran connectors.
Sync overview
You can sync all accounts or select specific accounts to sync.
To sync metadata and insights of the IG User and IG Media objects, we need the following permissions:
instagram_basicinstagram_manage_insightspages_show_listpages_read_engagement
During every sync, we fetch the data for all the accounts that you are syncing and all the media objects for each account.
Sync frequency
The metrics fetched for all the _INSIGHTS tables (except for the USER_INSIGHTS table) represent values present at the time of that particular sync. We recommend that you set a sync frequency of not more than 10 minutes for more granular insights.
You can use the _fivetran_synced column to track the metrics available at the time of each sync.
Schema information
This schema applies to all Instagram Business connectors.

Schema notes
For the USER_LIFETIME_INSIGHTS table, we fetch data up to the current date and not for the current date.
We don't fetch data for deleted media objects.
Note: We can fetch the
storymedia data only in the 24-hour span in which the story is active. We recommend that you set a sync frequency of not more than 10 minutes for more granular data.
