Panoramiq Watch Quickstart

Getting Started

NOTE: Panoramiq will only work with Instagram Business or Creator accounts. This is a requirement made by Instagram, and is the only way in which we can access their APIs on your behalf.

Login and Authentication with Facebook.

Before you can start using Panoramiq, you must authorize Panoramiq to access your Instagram account. After you have added the app to a stream in your Hootsuite dashboard, simply click the Authenticate button to get started:
