PESOS photos from Instagram #29

Closed aaronpk closed 10 years ago

Subscribe to the realtime API for my account
My server receives a POST request when I post a new photo
Download the photo and create a new photo post on my site
Find the first comment on the photo (the photo caption on Instagram)
Delete the first comment
Re-add the comment appending my permalink for the photo

Thinking more about this, I want to create the Instagram PESOS functionality as a service to keep the custom silo code out of p3k.

This relies on #17 as well as a finished micropub spec for posting photos.

This changes the flow slightly to the following:

User authorizes the bridge app on Instagram
User authorizes the bridge app on their site using IndieAuth + Authorization
The bridge subscribes to the realtime Instagram API for the user's account
The bridge receives a POST request when the user posts a new photo
Downloads the photo from Instagram, then makes a Micropub request to create a new photo post on the user's site
The user's site must return the URL of the new post in the response
The bridge finds the first comment on the photo (the photo caption on Instagram)
Deletes the first comment
Re-adds the comment appending the permalink or shortlink for the photo

Another thing: Not part of the PESOS app, but part of the webmention handling. When new comments are received from myself, add any hashtags to the page's tags (Instagram does this already)

Made progress on photo posts tonight by creating a new "photo" template in #p3k. A nice side effect is that all my notes are now displaying the location information along with them.

Some discussion of formatting for the various pieces in IRC: http://indiewebcamp.com/irc/2014-02-23#t1393218392

This is complete! It's configured as a service called OwnYourGram.com.

Currently waiting on whitelist approval from Instagram to be able to use the comments API to set the original post URL on the Instagram post.

Looks like I will not be able to get whitelist approval to use the comments API after all.

At the other end, Bridgy will be adding support for discovering "link-less" syndicated posts so that my Instagram photos won't need a short URL added after all. This is being discussed here https://github.com/snarfed/bridgy/pull/130
