MMM-Instagram2020

This is a module for the MagicMirror2 for displaying your Instagram photos and comments on your MagicMirror2. It makes use of the new Facebook Instagram Graph API.

Prerequisites

A) This module requires that Magic Mirror is setup for https/ssl access instead of the default http.

B) This module requires a Facebook Developer App in "Development" mode.

This Getting Started guide from Facebook will show you how to setup the App for instagram access. Just follow steps 1, 2 and 3 to get the variables you need.

• Valid OAuth Redirect URI would be "https://[IP Of Your Magic Mirror]:8080/MMM-Instagram2020/auth"
• Deauthorize Callback URL would be "https://[IP Of Your Magic Mirror]:8080/MMM-Instagram2020/deauth"
• Data Deletion Requests URL would be "https://[IP Of Your Magic Mirror]:8080/MMM-Instagram2020/datadelete"

From the app settings you will need:

• client_id > This will be a number generated for you
• client_secret > This will be a secret generated for you
• redirect_uri > This should be set to "https://[IP Of Your Magic Mirror]:8080/MMM-Instagram2020/auth" (Same as the Valid OAuth Redirect URI)

Installation

Setup Magic Mirror for HTTPS/SSL access.

Install openssl:

sudo apt-get install openssl

Create Certs:

cd ~/MagicMirror/config
mkdir ssl
openssl req -new -x509 -days 365 -nodes -out ./ssl/magicmirror.pem -keyout ./ssl/magicmirror.key

Update Config File:

nano config.js

Update the following:

useHttps: true,                                                         // Support HTTPS or not, default "false" will use HTTP
httpsPrivateKey: "/home/pi/MagicMirror/config/ssl/magicmirror.key",     // HTTPS private key path, only require when useHttps is true
httpsCertificate: "/home/pi/MagicMirror/config/ssl/magicmirror.pem",    // HTTPS Certificate path, only require when useHttps is true

Install MMM-Instagram2020

1. Navigate to the modules folder and execute git clone https://github.com/AlexanderSalter/MMM-Instagram2020.git. A new folder with the name 'MMM-Instagram2020 will be created, navigate into it.
2. Execute npm install to install the node dependencies.
3. Confiugre as per below.
4. Follow the Authorisation Process.

Configuration

Example config.js entry:

{
module: 'MMM-Instagram2020',
position: 'top_left',
header: 'MMM-Instagram2020',
config: {
  client_id: '<YOUR FACBOOK INSTAGRAM APP ID>', // Facebook Instagram App ID
  client_secret: '<YOUR FACBOOK INSTAGRAM APP SECRET>', // Facebook Instagram App Secret
  redirect_uri: '<YOUR FACEBOOK INSTAGRAM APP OAUTH REDIRECT URL', // Facebook Instagram App oauth_redirect_uri
  animationSpeed: 1000,
  updateInterval: 30000,
}}

Authorisation Process

1. Ensure that the Magic Mirror installation is https/ssl enabled.
2. Ensure that client_id, client_secret and redirect_uri are all configured in config.js and that they match your settings in the Facebook Develloper App.
3. Start MagicMirror2 and wait for the authorisation link to show, you will need to either VNC into your MagicMirror2 or access the MagicMirror2 interface remotely 'https://[IP Of Your Magic Mirror]:8080/'
4. Look for the Message defined below and click the "Here" link

+ Note: The mouse pointer may be hidden, just right-click to locate your pointer.

5. Click the Authorise Button and the form will send you to your redirect_uri and give you an auth_code in the url.

6. If all is good, youll get a message with an auth_code, jsut close the window.

Note: The authorisation process uses a key stored in accesstoken.cfg under the module directory. This allows access to the account for 60 days. There is a mechanism in place to renew the key every time MagicMirror2 is restarted. If the access token gets to old, the interface will return to the authorisation link state.

To Do

• [ ] Tidy up the code
• [ ] Comment the code more clearly
• [ ] Add display config options to hide comments and time
• [ ] video support
• [ ] investigate possible use of the ?__a=1 > No longer Supported
• [ ] investigate scraping public profiles to make the process simpler ref
