django-instagram

A Django application that allows to use some template tags for displaying content from an Instagram public profile.

Requirements

Installation

Install Django with your favourite Linux packaging system or you can use pip for installing python packages, if Django is not an official package for your distribution:

pip install django

Use pip to install Django Instagram:

pip install django-instagram==0.2.0a1

Pip should take care of the package dependencies for Django Instagram.

Configuration

Add the application to INSTALLED_APPS:

INSTALLED_APPS = (
                  ...
                  'django_instagram',)

Rebuild your application database, this command depends on which version of Django you are using.

In Django 1.9 (recommended):

python manage.py makemigrations django_instagram

Them migrate the db:

python manage.py migrate

Usage

The instagram_user_recent_media brings into context two objects:

profile: Contains the who scraped object.
recent_media: Contains the recent media, like 10 or 12 entries or so.

You can display the data contained in recent_media list like this:

{% load instagram_client %}

{% instagram_user_recent_media intel %}

<div id="django_recent_media_wall">
  {% for media in recent_media %}
    <div class="django_instagram_media_wall_item">
      <a href="{{ media.display_src }}" target="_blank" title="{{ media.caption }}">
        <img src="{{ media.thumbnail_src }}"/>
        <span>{{ media.caption }}</span>
      </a>
    </div>
  {% endfor %}
</div>

There are also two inclusion tags that includes an example of how to parse data from Instagram, you can also use them like this:

{% load instagram_client %}

<h1>Instagram media wall</h1>
{% instagram_recent_media_wall usename="intel" %}

<h1>Instagram sliding box</h1>
{% instagram_recent_media_box usename="intel" %}

Filters

As you may have noticed some filters can be used for sizing the pictures, here is the list of the usable fitlers:

For standard size:

{% for media in recent_media %}
...
<img src="{{ media.thumbnail_src|standard_size }}"/>
...
{% endfor %}

For low resolution images:

{% for media in recent_media %}
...
<img src="{{ media.thumbnail_src|low_resolution }}"/>
...
{% endfor %}

For thumbnail size:

{% for media in recent_media %}
...
<img src="{{ media.thumbnail_src|thumbnail }}"/>
...
{% endfor %}
