It’s simply a huge risk you can’t afford. Giving over the keys to your social profile to some third party is never a good idea, no matter how much you trust them or how many other people use them without issue. Obviously, the second method is a hard sell. Either they send you a notification to submit your post when you have it scheduled, or they require you to give your login information to someone else, who can then take the action for you. All Instagram schedulers operate in one of two ways. You will always have to take some action at the requisite time when you “schedule” a post. So the fact is, there is no app that will allow you to schedule and automatically post content on Instagram for you. A lack of posting API makes it harder for anyone to post, which puts up a barrier to a lot of the worst of the worst spam, low quality marketing, and content flood that riddles so many other sites. A posting API enables much of the problem styles of posting, most notably a lot of the lower quality spam posts you see on a lot of other social networks.An app allowing a desktop user to publish undermines the ability for them to focus on the mobile audience.

They want to encourage use of the app on the go, via a mobile device rather than a desktop platform.Why won’t Instagram allow it? Well, they have two reasons they’ve stated before. This even applies to the desktop version of their site you can view posts, follow people, and leave comments from the web, but you can’t post your own photos.

It’s true! You can check the API endpoints here. Unlike most social networks, Instagram’s API does not allow posting. Instagram, like all social networks, has an API that allows third party apps to perform some functions.
