Retrieve data from Instagram feed

Requirements

• PHP 7.1

Installation

composer require ideato/instagram-feed

Usage

InstagramFeed requires a Guzzle HTTP Client and an Instagram access token.

Here you can find a tool for generate your own instagram access token

    $instagramFeed = new InstagramFeed\InstagramFeed(
        new \GuzzleHttp\Client(),
        'your own access token'
    );
    
    $media = $instagramFeed->getMedia(); //will returns array of InstagramFeed\Model\Media objects

Caching

Instagram APIs come out with low rate limit. This means you have to cache responses in order to prevent errors. The library provides a PSR-6 cache decorator with allows you to easily cache responses.

    $instagramFeed = new InstagramFeed\InstagramFeed(
        new \GuzzleHttp\Client(),
        'your own access token'
    );
    
    $instagramCachedFeed = new InstagramFeed\InstagramCachedFeed(
        new \Symfony\Component\Cache\Adapter\FilesystemAdapter(),
        $instagramFeed,
        $ttl //defaults to 600 seconds
    );
    
    $media = $instagramCachedFeed->getMedia(); //will returns array of InstagramFeed\Model\Media objects

Symfony Integration

Instagram Feed can be easily configured as a service on your Symfony application.

    services.yml
    
    parameters:
      app_instagram_access_token: 'your own token'
    
    services:
        #if you already defined Guzzle as service, just use yours
        app.guzzle_client:
            class: GuzzleHttp\Client

        app.instagram_feed:
            class: InstagramFeed\InstagramFeed
            arguments:
              - "@app.guzzle_client"
              - "%app_instagram_access_token%"
    
        app.instagram_cached_feed:
            class: InstagramFeed\InstagramCachedFeed
            arguments:
              - "@cache.app"
              - "@app.instagram_feed"
            public: true

Then you can retrieve posts with:

    $this->get('app.instagram_cached_feed')->getMedia();

TODO

• add support to other api endpoints
• add support to other Instagram types (eg. video, gallery)
