Tips and limitations

  • Business or Creator account recommended. Some features like hashtag search and insights require a Business or Creator Instagram account connected to a Facebook Page.
  • Media types supported. Rocket can display photos, videos, carousels, and reels from your Instagram feed.
  • Rate limits apply. Instagram’s API has rate limits. For high-traffic sites, consider caching media data in Supabase to avoid hitting limits.
  • Content refreshes periodically. Instagram feeds refresh automatically, but there may be a short delay between posting and content appearing in your app.
