Instagram + Foldr Integration
Instagram is Meta's photo + video network. Drive DM conversations to Foldr-hosted files or use Foldr links in bios — Instagram only allows one clickable URL at a time, making short links essential.
How to Connect Instagram to Foldr
Generate a Foldr API key
Sign in at foldr.space and create an API key at foldr.space/developers.
Authenticate with Instagram
Generate or locate your Instagram API credentials per Instagram's documentation.
Wire the two APIs together
Write a small script or serverless function that calls Instagram, processes the result, and POSTs to https://foldr.space/api/v1/files (or /links for short links).
Deploy + schedule
Run the script on-demand, via a cron job, or trigger it from a webhook — the Foldr REST API has no client-library lock-in.
Common Use Cases
- Host supplementary downloads (decks, source files) alongside your Instagram content
- Offload large raw masters to Foldr while streaming cuts on Instagram
- Link Instagram viewers to Foldr lead magnets
- Use Foldr as a staging layer for assets later ingested into Instagram
Instagram + Foldr FAQ
How do I connect Foldr to Instagram?
You connect Foldr to Instagram via REST API. Full steps are listed above under "How to Connect". In short: create a Foldr API key, configure the REST API integration pointed at https://foldr.space/api/v1/, and map Instagram's data into Foldr's request body.
Do I need a paid Foldr plan to use Instagram with Foldr?
The Foldr free tier supports basic uploads via the API with 7-day expiry. For integration use with Instagram — higher rate limits, permanent storage, multiple API keys, and webhook subscriptions — Foldr Pro (from $5/mo) is recommended.
What Foldr features can I call from Instagram?
From Instagram you can invoke any Foldr action: uploading files (up to 2 GB each), creating short links, generating bio pages, creating hosted forms, and reading download analytics. See the Foldr API docs for the full endpoint list.
Is there an official Foldr app for Instagram?
Not a first-party app — Foldr integrates with Instagram through REST API, which is usually a better fit because it doesn't require installing an extra app. If you'd rather have a native integration, let us know at foldr.space/contact.
