As for current version.

First you need know the api docs for publish a media.

Available docs:

• https://developers.facebook.com/docs/instagram-api/reference/ig-user/media
• https://developers.facebook.com/docs/instagram-api/reference/ig-user/media_publish

Then I think you can use the GraphAPI class to post a media. just a demo for publish a image media:

Initial class

from pyfacebook import GraphAPI

api = GraphAPI(access_token="access token")  # notice the access token need have publish permissions.
object_id = "business ID"   # target business account id

Then create a container to publish.

resp = api.post_object(
    object_id=object_id,
    connection="media",
    params={
        "image_url": "public url for image",
        "caption": "Image published by api",
    }
)
print(resp)
# {'id': '17952987976782688'}

Then publish the container.

publish_resp = api.post_object(
    object_id=object_id,
    connection="media_publish",
    params={
        "creation_id": "17952987976782688",
    }
)
print(publish_resp)
# {'id': '17899702154554435'}

Now you can see the media has published success.
