How to get Instagram session ID

Posted on by CyberSEO

This tutorial explains how to obtain an Instagram session ID. This ID is necessary for automatically importing Instagram users’ posts into WordPress using the CyberSEO Pro autoblogging plugin. The process will be demonstrated using Chrome, which is currently the most popular browser. The procedure is almost the same for Firefox and other similar browsers.

After configuring your Instagram session ID, you can automatically import posts from any Instagram account to your WordPress site. The plugin’s integrated AI tools allow you to transform these posts into unique WordPress posts by expanding, translating, or enhancing the original content for SEO and audience engagement. This seamless integration keeps your website fresh by converting Instagram updates into original, high-quality WordPress content.

First of all make sure you are logged in to an Instagram account.

Instagram login

Now open Instagram in Chrome and click Ctrl+Shift+I to open the Developer Tools and navigate to the “Application” (“Storage” in Firefox) tab. There you will see your Instagram session ID. Double click on it and copy its value.

Save the changes and you are set to go. The only thing you need is to add a new Instagram user channel to CyberSEO Pro, just add its regular URL the same way you syndicate RSS feeds. E.g. https://www.instagram.com/hbo/

Your session ID will be valid for all the time you are logged into Instagram, so don’t logout. If you don’t want to use your personal Instagram account for these purposes, just register a new dedicated one.
