How to embed your Instagram & TikTok feed in 5 minutes

A live social feed is one of the highest-impact things you can add to a website, and one of the easiest. You do not need a developer, a plugin, or to wrestle with the Instagram API. Here is the whole process, start to finish.

Before you start

You will need the social account you want to display (Instagram, TikTok or YouTube), and access to edit your website — anywhere you can paste a block of HTML. That is it.

The five steps

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://api.feedsly.io/embed/feedsly-widget.css">
<div data-feedsly data-endpoint="https://api.feedsly.io/api/feed?widget=YOUR_ID"></div>
<script src="https://api.feedsly.io/embed/feedsly-widget.js" defer></script>

Where it goes on popular platforms

• Shopify: add a Custom Liquid / HTML section in the theme editor.
• WordPress: add a Custom HTML block.
• Webflow: drop in an Embed element.
• Wix / Squarespace: use an Embed Code / Code block.
• Anything else: paste it into the page's HTML.

Why this beats the "official" embed

Instagram's own embeds break when a post is edited, only show one post at a time, and look nothing like your brand. A dedicated feed re-hosts your media so it keeps working, refreshes itself on a schedule, matches your colours, and loads fast from a cache instead of hammering the social platform on every page view. Set it once and forget it.
