[NOTE: Panoramiq will only work with Business Instagram Accounts. This is a requirement that Instagram makes, and is the only way in which we can access their APIs on your behalf.]
Getting Started
Panoramiq Insights is a Hootsuite app that allows you to easily analyze and generate reports for your Instagram Accounts.
Login and Authentication with Facebook.
Before you can start using Panoramiq, you must authorize Panoramiq to access your Instagram account. After you have added the app to a stream in your Hootsuite dashboard, simply click the Login with Facebook button to get started with authorization:
After you have authenticated on Facebook, a popup will be displayed asking you to select the Instagram account you would like to use:
Click the plus sign to the right of the account you would like to use. Once you have selected the account, the popup will automatically close, and the selected account's posts will be displayed in-stream.

Account analytics includes the current number of followers, the number of posts you've made as well as follower demographics for age/gender, country, city and language.
Activity analytics includes analytics for post views and post engagement over a period of time.
Post analytics allows you to analyze your posts to find your best performing posts.
Story analytics allows you to analyze your stories to discover what performs best. NOTE: Due to stories only having a life of 24 hours, we can only get data for stories that are currently active and stories you add in the future.
All analytics allows you to view and generate a single report that includes sections for all of the above analytics, i.e. Account, Activity, Posts and Stories.
The analytics popups have a couple of options you can use. The account menu allows you to switch to a different account to generate a report for. Clicking on the calendar icon allows you to specify a period of time to analyze results for. (NOTE: this is will only appear in the activity, posts and stories analytics popups) Clicking the download
icon allows you to download the report in either PDF or CSV formats.
Search Options

You can choose to view your media sorted by Date, Number of Likes, Number of Comments, Total Engagement (Likes + Comments) or Number of Views. You can also choose to sort the results in ascending order, i.e. from lowest to highest, or in descending order, i.e. from highest to lowest.
You can also specify a Stream Name that will be displayed in the app's menubar.
