Instagram API approval can slow down a solo SaaS launch
Instagram data such as public profile details, analytics, insights, and comments must be accessed through Meta’s Developer Platform. A test user access token can work during development, but a real product needs App Review before it can use those in production.
App Review usually requires demo videos or that show exactly how each permission and API is used. The main is whether business is required for to Instagram APIs.
A solo SaaS founder also needs to know whether a sole proprietorship can pass Meta Business . In India, another practical question is whether UDYAM registration is enough for or whether Meta usually asks for other documents.
