npm install instagram-wrapiClient interface for accessing Instagram API.
Install via npm
``bash`
npm install instagram-wrapi --save
Instagram API requires authentication and uses the OAuth 2.0 protocol. Authenticated requests require an access_token.
More details on getting an access_token can be found here.
Also, some calls require public_content scope set for your app. Please refer to scope documentation.
Create a client object to connect to Instagram API endpoints with your access_token.
`JS
var instagramWrapi = require('instagram-wrapi');
var client = new instagramWrapi(INSTAGRAM_ACCESS_TOKEN);
// Now you are ready to make API calls to Instagram.
`
Provide parameters and a callback.
API calls follow this syntax:
client.apigroup.action(param1, ..., queryString, callback);
param - (if required*) url parameters - eg: For users.get the value for :user-id.queryString
- (as required*) API method parameters as key-value pairs.
#### Get information about the user of the access_token.
`JS`
client.users.self(function(err, data) {
if (!err) {
console.log(data);
}
});
#### Get the most recent media published by a user.
`JS`
client.users.media.recent('1574083', function(err, data) {
if (!err) {
console.log(data);
}
});
#### List of media recently tagged as spring.
`JS`
client.tags.media.recent('spring', function(err, data) {
if (!err) {
console.log(data);
}
});
#### Search for recent media in a given location within 5km range. (What's happening in your area)
`JS``
client.media.search({lat:'48.858844', lng:'2.294351', distance:5000}, function(err, data) {
if (!err) {
console.log(data);
}
});
