Uses platform quota
Synchronous response
Reads public data

Parameters

Direct Instagram Login uses the Instagram Professional account id and an Instagram User token. Existing Facebook-backed connections use the linked Page id, add platform=instagram, and keep the same public endpoint id. Conversation ids are Graph API ids; an instagram.com/direct/t/... browser thread id is not interchangeable.
