Deprecation on the Horizon

It seemed inevitable that the Instagram API would go by way of the graph API and that day is finally upon us. Behold the next best thing since sliced tofu; Instagram Graph API.

As such, this library will go by way of the circular bin. I have little interest (and even less energy) to keep this going. The old API will cease to exist in July 2018.

Instaphp V2

This is version 2 of Instaphp. It's a complete rewrite from version 1 and is not backwards compatible. If you're using v1 and want to update to v2, you'll have to make a few changes. Some of the method names have changed and configuration is no longer an XML file. There are unit tests, but given the less than stellar reliability of Instagram's API, they are fairly useless.

If you're using composer, you shouldn't need to worry about dependencies. If you're not, you will have to figure out the include chain. The new version relies on GuzzleHttp and MonoLog.

It's not battle tested, so I can't speak to it's reliability/speed/ease of use, but the unit test (generally) all pass. I will keep this in the development branch for a while until I think it's ready to move into master.

Usage

Here's a basic example showing how to get 10 popular posts...

<?php
	
	$api = new Instaphp\Instaphp([
		'client_id' => 'your client id',
		'client_secret' => 'your client secret',
		'redirect_uri' => 'http://somehost.foo/callback.php',
		'scope' => 'comments+likes'
	]);

	$popular = $api->Media->Popular(['count' => 10]);

	if (empty($popular->error)) {
		foreach ($popular->data as $item) {
			printf('<img src="%s">', $item['images']['low_resolution']['url']);
		}
	}
?>

Configuration

Configuration is now a simple array of key/value pairs. The absolute minimum required setting is client_id, but if you plan to allow users to login via OAuth, you'll need client_secret & redirect_uri. All the other settings are optional and/or have sensible defaults.

Key	Default Value	Description
access_token	Empty	This is the access token for an authorized user. You obtain this from API via OAuth
redirect_uri	Empty	The redirect URI you defined when setting up your Instagram client
client_ip	Empty	The IP address of the client. This is used to sign POST & DELETE requests. It's not required, but without the signing, users are more limited in how many likes/comments they can post in a given hour
scope	comments+relationships+likes	The scope of your client's capability
log_enabled	FALSE	Enable logging
log_level	DEBUG	Log level. See Monolog Logger
log_path	./instaphp.log	Where the log file lives
http_useragent	Instaphp/2.0; cURL/{curl_version}; (+http://instaphp.com)	The user-agent string sent with all requests
http_timeout	6	Timeout for requests to the API.
http_connect_timeout	2	Timeout for http connect
debug	FALSE	Debug mode?
event.before	Empty	Callback called prior to sending the request to the API. Method takes a single parameter BeforeEvent
event.after	Empty	Callback called after a response is received from the API. Method takes a single parameter of CompleteEvent
event.error	Empty	Callback called when an error response is received from the API. Method takes a single parameter of ErrorEvent.
