My socials won't connect

Check your account type (must be Creator/Business for IG), public visibility (TikTok blocks API on private accounts), and any platform-side flags. Most failures are platform-side configuration, not Keepface bugs.

Instagram

  • Must be Creator or Business account, Personal accounts can’t grant API access
  • Must be linked to a Facebook Page, required for Instagram Graph API access
  • Page admin permission, you must be a Page admin to authorize

Fix: convert your IG to Creator/Business in Settings → Account → Switch to Professional, link to a Page, retry.

TikTok

  • Account must be public, private accounts can’t grant API access (and won’t be discoverable)
  • Region restrictions, TikTok blocks API for accounts in some regions

Fix: flip to public temporarily for the OAuth, then back to private if you want (note: your tier and metrics will only update while public).

YouTube

  • Must be a managed channel, auto-generated “topic” channels don’t have OAuth
  • 2FA enabled is fine, but use the Google account that owns the channel

Fix: verify channel ownership in YouTube Studio first.

X / Twitter

  • Account must be public, locked accounts can’t grant API access
  • App-side rate limit, try again in 5 minutes

Still failing
