Composer package available.

Get started

To use the Instagram API, you will need to register a Facebook app and configure Instagram Basic Display. Follow the getting started guide.

Installation

I strongly advise using Composer to keep updates as smooth as possible.

$ composer require espresso-dev/instagram-php

Initialize the class

use EspressoDev\Instagram\Instagram;

$instagram = new Instagram([
    'appId' => 'YOUR_APP_ID',
    'appSecret' => 'YOUR_APP_SECRET',
    'redirectUri' => 'YOUR_APP_REDIRECT_URI'
]);

echo "<a href='{$instagram->getLoginUrl()}'>Login with Instagram</a>";

Authenticate user (OAuth2)

// Get the OAuth callback code
$code = $GET['code'];

// Get the short lived access token (valid for 1 hour)
$token = $instagram->getOAuthToken($code, true);

// Exchange this token for a long lived token (valid for 60 days)
$token = $instagram->getLongLivedToken($token, true);

echo 'Your token is: ' . $token;

Get user profile

// Set user access token
$instagram->setAccessToken($token);
// Get the users profile
$profile = $instagram->getUserProfile();

echo '<pre>';
print_r($profile);
echo '</pre>';

Get user media

// Set user access token
$instagram->setAccessToken($token);
// Get the users media
$media = $instagram->getUserMedia();

echo '<pre>';
print_r($media);
echo '</pre>';
