Get Instagram Sticker Images/Videos #1487

Open DevStreamLine opened 3 years ago

DevStreamLine commented 3 years ago

Hello,

Would someone be able to tell me if this api will allow me to retrieve the Instagram Stickers? I did not see an example for that and could not locate anything thus far. I am able to create my own stickers and apply them, but I was hoping to use the ones from Instagram.

Thank you

You can create new stickers and use them in a story post. I'm not sure I know what you mean exactly by retrieving them. If you're creating a front-end of some sort, you can easily do it with some js and css

Ok, yes, I get it. What I meant by getting the stickers from Instagram was, when I post something from Instagram it provides me a set of stickers. Can I retrieve those from Instagram or can I only provide my own?

I don't get which stickers you're referring to. Could you share some image?

Just a note: Stickers that don't do anything if you tap on them are purely cosmetic (iirc).

So here is a screenshot of some of the instagram stickers, plus they have a large selection of gif stickers. I was hoping to retrieve them so they could be placed and I would not have to supply all of my own.

Also, I am assuming that if I want that "do something" I would use the sticker builder, correct?

I don't think this library provides a way of getting the stickers (though there's ofc some api request for it, it's just not here).

That's right.
