Note: Starting today (January 30), we are launching three new features on the Instagram Graph API designed to help businesses better manage their organic presence on Instagram. As part of our API changes, we will also be deprecating the older Instagram API Platform over the next two years beginning on July 31, 2018.Please see the full summary here.
Note: On the 17 Nov 2015 [Instagram](http://developers.instagram.coThe following endpoints are deprecated immediately:m/post/133424514006/instagram-platform-update) made changes to their API . Apps created before Nov 17, 2015 wont be affected until Jun 2016. Apps created on or after Nov 17 2015 will require to use their updated API. Please note that this library doesn't yet support their new updates. For more information, please see #182.
A PHP wrapper for the Instagram API. Feedback or bug reports are appreciated.
Composer package available.
Supports Instagram Video and Signed Header.
- PHP 5.3 or higher
- cURL
- Registered Instagram App
To use the Instagram API you have to register yourself as a developer at the Instagram Developer Platform and create an application. Take a look at the uri guidelines before registering a redirect URI. You will receive your client_id and client_secret.
Please note that Instagram mainly refers to »Clients« instead of »Apps«. So »Client ID« and »Client Secret« are the same as »App Key« and »App Secret«.
A good place to get started is the example project.
I strongly advice using Composer to keep updates as smooth as possible.
$ composer require propeopleua/instagram
use MetzWeb\Instagram\Instagram;
$instagram = new Instagram(array(
'apiKey' => 'YOUR_APP_KEY',
'apiSecret' => 'YOUR_APP_SECRET',
'apiCallback' => 'YOUR_APP_CALLBACK'
));
echo "<a href='{$instagram->getLoginUrl()}'>Login with Instagram</a>";// grab OAuth callback code
$code = $_GET['code'];
$data = $instagram->getOAuthToken($code);
echo 'Your username is: ' . $data->user->username;All methods return the API data json_decode() - so you can directly access the data.
new Instagram(<array>/<string>);
array if you want to authenticate a user and access its data:
new Instagram(array(
'apiKey' => 'YOUR_APP_KEY',
'apiSecret' => 'YOUR_APP_SECRET',
'apiCallback' => 'YOUR_APP_CALLBACK'
));string if you only want to access public data:
new Instagram('YOUR_APP_KEY');getLoginUrl(<array>)
getLoginUrl(array(
'basic',
'likes'
));Optional scope parameters:
| Scope | Legend | Methods |
|---|---|---|
basic |
to use all user related methods [default] | getUser(), getUserFeed(), getUserFollower() etc. |
relationships |
to follow and unfollow users | modifyRelationship() |
likes |
to like and unlike items | getMediaLikes(), likeMedia(), deleteLikedMedia() |
comments |
to create or delete comments | getMediaComments(), addMediaComment(), deleteMediaComment() |
getOAuthToken($code, <true>/<false>)
true : Returns only the OAuth token
false [default] : Returns OAuth token and profile data of the authenticated user
- Set the access token, for further method calls:
setAccessToken($token) - Get the access token, if you want to store it for later usage:
getAccessToken()
Public methods
getUser($id)searchUser()getUserMedia($limit = 0, $min_id = null, $max_id = null)
Authenticated methods
getUser()getUserMedia( <$limit>)
Public methods
getTag($name)getTagMedia($name)searchTags($name)
Instagram entries are marked with a type attribute (image or video), that allows you to identify videos.
An example of how to embed Instagram videos by using Video.js, can be found in the /example folder.
Please note: Instagram currently doesn't allow to filter videos.
In order to prevent that your access tokens gets stolen, Instagram recommends to sign your requests with a hash of your API secret, the called endpoint and parameters.
- Activate "Enforce Signed Header" in your Instagram client settings.
- Enable the signed-header in your Instagram class:
$instagram->setSignedHeader(true);- You are good to go! Now, all your requests will be secured with a signed header.
Go into more detail about how it works in the Instagram API Docs.
Each endpoint has a maximum range of results, so increasing the limit parameter above the limit won't help (e.g. getUserMedia() has a limit of 90).
That's the point where the "pagination" feature comes into play.
Simply pass an object into the pagination() method and receive your next dataset:
$photos = $instagram->getTagMedia('kitten');
$result = $instagram->pagination($photos);Iteration with do-while loop.
If you need further information about an endpoint, take a look at the Instagram API docs.
This example project, located in the example/ folder, helps you to get started.
The code is well documented and takes you through all required steps of the OAuth2 process.
