Gemini CLI and Instagram questions
Can Gemini CLI post to Instagram?
Yes. Connect your Instagram account in dopost and follow the Gemini CLI setup guide.
Can Gemini CLI post Instagram Reels?
Yes. Ask for a Reel and Gemini CLI sets the post type to reel. Add "only in the Reels tab" to keep it out of the main feed.
Do I need a Meta developer app or API key?
No. You connect Instagram once in dopost and Gemini CLI uses that connection. There is no developer account, review or token to manage.
Can I check my Instagram results?
Yes. You can check the available metrics for your Instagram accounts and posts.
Can I review content before scheduling?
You can ask the agent to show you the content before scheduling it.
