A PHP wrapper for the Instagram API.
Feedback or bug reports are appreciated.
Supports Instagram video responses.
- PHP 5.2.x or higher
- cURL
- Registered Instagram App
Register your application with Instagram, and receive your OAuth client_id
and client_secret
.
Take a look at the uri guidlines before registering a redirect URI.
A good place to get started is the example App.
<?php
require_once 'instagram.class.php';
$instagram = new Instagram(array(
'apiKey' => 'YOUR_APP_KEY',
'apiSecret' => 'YOUR_APP_SECRET',
'apiCallback' => 'YOUR_APP_CALLBACK'
));
echo "<a href='{$instagram->getLoginUrl()}'>Login with Instagram</a>";
?>
<?php
// Grab OAuth callback code
$code = $_GET['code'];
$data = $instagram->getOAuthToken($code);
echo 'Your username is: ' . $data->user->username;
?>
<?php
// Store user access token
$instagram->setAccessToken($data);
// Get all user likes
$likes = $instagram->getUserLikes();
// Take a look at the API response
echo '<pre>';
print_r($likes);
echo '<pre>';
?>
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'
));

How to like a Media: Example usage
Sample responses of the Likes Endpoints.
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.
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:
<?php
$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.
