Installation

Dependencies

Install/enable the required php extensions and dependencies. You can learn how to do so here.

Install this library

We use composer to distribute our code effectively and easily. If you do not already have composer installed, you can download and install it here here.

Once you have composer installed, you can do the following:


composer require mgp25/instagram-php


require  __DIR__.'/../vendor/autoload.php';

$ig = new \InstagramAPI\Instagram();

If you want to test new and possibly unstable code that is in the master branch, and which hasn't yet been released, then you can do the following (at your own risk):


composer require mgp25/instagram-php dev-master

Warning about moving data to a different server

Composer checks your system's capabilities and selects libraries based on your current machine (where you are running the composer command). So if you run Composer on machine A to install this library, it will check machine A's capabilities and will install libraries appropriate for that machine (such as installing the PHP 7+ versions of various libraries). If you then move your whole installation to machine B instead, it will not work unless machine B has the exact same capabilities (same or higher PHP version and PHP extensions)! Therefore, you should always run the Composer-command on your intended target machine instead of your local machine.

Why did I make this API?

After legal measures, Facebook, WhatsApp and Instagram blocked my accounts.

In order to use Instagram on my phone I needed a new phone, as they banned my UDID, so that is basically why I made this API.

What is Instagram?

According to the company:

"Instagram is a fun and quirky way to share your life with friends through a series of pictures. Snap a photo with your mobile phone, then choose a filter to transform the image into a memory to keep around forever. We're building Instagram to allow you to experience moments in your friends' lives through pictures as they happen. We imagine a world more connected through photos."

License

In order help ensure fairness and sharing, this library is dual-licensed. Be

aware that all usage, unless otherwise specified, is under the RPL-1.5

license!

You should read the entire license; especially the PREAMBLE at the

beginning. In short, the word reciprocal means "giving something back in

return for what you are getting". It is not a freeware license. This

license requires that you open-source all of your own source code for any

project which uses this library! Creating and maintaining this library is

endless hard work for us. That's why there is one simple requirement for you:

Give something back to the world. Whether that's code or financial support

for this project is entirely up to you, but nothing else grants you any

right to use this library.

Furthermore, the library is also available to certain entities under a

modified version of the RPL-1.5, which has been modified to allow you to use the

library without open-sourcing your own project. The modified license

(see LICENSE_PREMIUM)

is granted to certain entities, at our discretion, and for a limited period

of time (unless otherwise agreed), pursuant to our terms. Currently, we are

granting this license to all

"premium subscribers" for

the duration of their subscriptions. You can become a premium subscriber by

either contributing substantial amounts of high-quality code, or by subscribing

for a fee. This licensing ensures fairness and stimulates the continued growth

of this library through both code contributions and the financial support it

needs.

You are not required to accept this License since you have not signed it,

however nothing else grants you permission to use, copy, distribute, modify,

or create derivatives of either the Software (this library) or any Extensions

created by a Contributor. These actions are prohibited by law if you do not

accept this License. Therefore, by performing any of these actions You indicate

Your acceptance of this License and Your agreement to be bound by all its terms

and conditions. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH ALL THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS

LICENSE DO NOT USE, MODIFY, CREATE DERIVATIVES, OR DISTRIBUTE THE SOFTWARE. IF

IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR YOU TO COMPLY WITH ALL THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS

LICENSE THEN YOU CAN NOT USE, MODIFY, CREATE DERIVATIVES, OR DISTRIBUTE THE

SOFTWARE.
