## AI overview

A tutorial explains how to integrate Instagram Sign-In with a Firebase web app using Instagram's OAuth 2.0 authorization-code flow. The server exchanges the authorization code for an access token, retrieves the user's identity and profile data, creates a Firebase custom authentication token, and signs the user into Firebase. Instagram does not provide the user's email, so the resulting Firebase account can have no email address.
