Instagram Observer

manybots-instagram is a Manybots Observer that allows you to import your photos from Instagram to your local Manybots.

Installation instructions

Setup the gem

You need the latest version of Manybots Local running on your system. Open your Terminal and cd into its' directory.

First, require the gem: edit your Botfile, add the following, and run bundle install

gem 'manybots-instagram', :git => 'git://github.com/manybots/manybots-instagram.git'
gem 'instagram', :git => 'git://github.com/webcracy/instagram-ruby-gem.git'

Second, run the manybots-instagram install generator (mind the underscore):

rails g manybots_instagram:install

Now you need to register your Instagram Observer with Github.

Register your Instagram Observer with Instagram

Your Instagram Observer uses OAuth to authorize you (and/or your other Manybots Local users) with Instagram.

Now, register your application with Instagram to get the Client ID and Secret. Go to the Instagram App Management page and create a new application.

And then copy-paste the Client ID and Client Secret in the appropriate "replace me" parts.

  1. Go to this link: http://instagr.am/developer/manage/

  2. Enter information like described in the screenshot below

  1. Copy the Client ID and Secret into config/initializers/manybots-instagram.rb
  config.instagram_app_id = 'Client ID'
  config.instagram_app_secret = 'Secret'

Restart and go!

Restart your server and you'll see the Instagram Observer in your /apps catalogue. Go to the app, sign-in to your Instagram account and start importing your photos into Manybots.
