Have you followed the steps here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/instagram-api/getting-started ? – hermanschutte Mar 11 '20 at 07:04

Maybe if you provide more detail about where you're getting stuck, with examples, someone will be able to help. – hermanschutte Mar 12 '20 at 07:42

I've just written up a tutorial on the steps to take for getting a long-lived access token for Instagram's API. Granted, the tutorial is for using the Instagram Basic Display API, but the concepts for getting a token to access the graph API are identical. You can see if this step-by-step tutorial is enough to point you in the right direction.

The steps are not identical: when your tutorial says to click on Basic Display and then click on Create New App the step isn't the same. I click on the Business Api and there is no Create New App there. – Vipera74 Mar 22 '20 at 11:10
