Issue with Instagram Connector and Access Token Generation

Summary

The user is facing an issue with generating a valid access token for the Instagram connector. They were unable to get the necessary details using the Meta Graph API Tool Explorer but succeeded when generating a token from the Meta Business Suite.


Question

Hi everyone. I have a doubt, not sure if its fully airbyte related.
• So I was trying to use the Instagram connector and i needed access_token for it.
• So I connected fb page to my insta business account .
• But when i used the meta graph api tool explorer, the token that i get there was returning me the user but not other details as the page, posts, etc, DESPITE giving all the permissions and scopes.
• So later on I created a user from the meta business suite, and generated an access_token , and when i entered that in the AIRBYTE, it worked.
So can you tell me , what is this all about, why I could’nt generate a valid token from the graph api tool explorer BUT did from the Meta business suite.
