This tutorial explains how to obtain an Instagram session ID. The CyberSEO Pro WordPress autoblogging plugin uses this session ID to automate Instagram-to-WordPress publishing, allowing you to import Instagram posts without any manual intervention. In fact, obtaining the session ID is usually the only manual step required. After that, CyberSEO Pro can monitor Instagram accounts and automatically import newly published posts.
You can publish imported Instagram posts exactly as they appear or transform them automatically into unique, value-added WordPress articles using AI. For instance, CyberSEO Pro can rewrite and expand captions, add relevant background information, generate SEO-friendly content, create AI-generated illustrations, and publish finished WordPress articles on a schedule.
The guide uses Google Chrome to demonstrate the process, but the steps are nearly identical in Firefox and other browsers. Before you begin, make sure you are logged into your Instagram account.
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.
Now simply paste it into the “Instagram session ID” box on the CyberSEO Pro Accounts page.
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.
What can you do after connecting your Instagram account to WordPress?
Once connected, CyberSEO Pro can automatically monitor selected Instagram profiles and import new posts into WordPress. Depending on your workflow, you can publish the imported content as is or use AI processing to transform short Instagram captions into SEO-optimized articles with additional context and AI-generated images.
Use the CyberSEO Pro AI-powered SEO autoblogging plugin for WordPress to:
- Automatically import content from RSS/Atom, XML, JSON, CSV, XLS, social networks, and tubes into WordPress.
- Use one of 500+ AI language models to rewrite, translate, and enhance it with AI-generated context.
- Illustrate the articles with images created by Midjourney, FLUX, Stable Diffusion, Seedream, Riverflow, Microsoft MAI-Image, Gemini Pro, or GPT-Image.
- Filter by keywords and schedule regular updates.
