Getting Data from Instagram

we will pull data into a collection called "ig-social-posts"

API endpoint

IF a user authenticates with Instagram we will create an API monitoring process

the data from the instagram api we want to get is https://www.instagram.com/developer/endpoints/users/#get_users_media_recent_self

you need to get an access_token from Instagram

go to https://api.instagram.com/oauth/authorize/?client_id=92d306a2ca44464098e8ae3c0a128ee6&redirect_uri=http://localhost&response_type=token

and then enter it in this url https://api.instagram.com/v1/users/self/media/recent/?access_token=

you will get a response like this

https://github.com/firemountain/basic-meteor-app/blob/master/example.json

processing

We want to check this API endpoint every 1 min for new data

When there is new data we want to create or update the objects in "ig-social-posts"
