Why did i do the API?

For me,
i love writing code,
for him
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."
