Instagram Integration in TYPO3 for Visual Storytelling

Instagram is a powerful platform for visual storytelling, brand engagement, and community building. Bringing Instagram content directly into TYPO3 allows editors to enhance their pages with rich, social imagery—showcasing posts, reels, or carousels without disrupting their workflow or relying on manual embed codes.

b13 has developed a TYPO3 integration that adds a dedicated content element for embedding Instagram posts. Editors can simply paste in a post URL, and TYPO3 will handle the rest. The integration supports optional use of oEmbed to fetch post metadata such as captions, media previews, and author information. For projects requiring more control, the output can be customized to match the website’s design and privacy requirements, even without relying on oEmbed.

In addition to the base integration, b13 offers custom extensions—such as consent-aware loading, style adaptations, or advanced layout options—to meet editorial and performance needs.
