Social APIs Restrictions

There are some restriction from social network APIs that are making some limitations for us on top of building this plugin that are listed here.
- You cannot get the feed from a Facebook group. Only page, album, photos, videos, and personal feeds are supported.
- On Facebook, if you want to get a feed from a personal account (instead of a page or album), you need to "create your own Facebook app" and connect that account to the plugin using your own Facebook app.
- Twitter account should not be set as “Protect my Tweets”.
- Twitter search API can only grab the items that are posted in the last 7 - 9 days.
- Twitter API does not provide the image data for re-tweets.
- For Instagram User Feed, you can only get results from accounts you have an access token created using that account.
- Getting feed from other Instagram accounts which you have not listed under your connected account(s) may not be possible if your website server IP is getting banned by Instagram.
- Pinterest re-shared items will not include the original shared item.
