Automating Instagram carousel publishing from local images requires a tool that handles image hosting, creates media containers via the Graph API, and publishes the final post. This skill orchestrates that entire workflow end-to-end using imgBB and Graph endpoints.

Yes, an Instagram Business account is required to publish carousels via the Graph API. You also need a valid access token, your Instagram user ID, and an imgBB API key to handle the external hosting of your local images.

You can include a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 10 images per automated Instagram carousel post. The skill processes these local assets by uploading them to imgBB and coordinating the carousel container creation.

Yes, you can perform a dry-run test to validate the Instagram carousel publishing workflow. This allows you to verify image hosting and media container creation logic without pushing the final post to your live Instagram feed.

Publishing Instagram carousels from local files requires imgBB hosting because the Instagram Graph API needs publicly accessible URLs to fetch media. The workflow uploads local images to imgBB to generate the public URLs needed for media container creation.

The Instagram Graph API carousel creation process works by first uploading local images to a host like imgBB, creating individual media containers for each URL, combining them into a carousel container, and finally publishing it to return a real post permalink.
