Instagram PHP API 4.0.0
A PHP wrapper for the Instagram API. Feedback or bug reports are appreciated.
Supports Laravel 5.3 & 5.4
Now supports Instagram video responses.
Requirements
- Registered Instagram App
- PHP 5.3 or higher
- cURL
Get started
To use the Instagram API with OAuth you have to register yourself as developer at the Instagram Developer Platform and set up an App. Take a look at the uri guidlines before registering a redirect URI.
Please note that Instagram mainly refers to »Clients« instead of »Apps«. So »Client ID« and »Client Secret« are the same as »App Key« and »App Secret«.
A good place to get started is the example App.
Initialize the class
Pure PHP
<?php
require '../vendor/autoload.php';
$instagram = new Andreyco\Instagram\Client(array(
'apiKey' => 'YOUR_APP_KEY',
'apiSecret' => 'YOUR_APP_SECRET',
'apiCallback' => 'YOUR_APP_CALLBACK',
'scope' => array('basic'),
));
echo "<a href='{$instagram->getLoginUrl()}'>Login with Instagram</a>";
?>
Laravel
This package offers Laravel support out of the box. These steps are required to setup the package.
Installation
composer require andreyco/instagram
Add Service provider and register Facade
'providers' => array(
// ...
Andreyco\Instagram\Support\Laravel\ServiceProvider\Instagram::class,
// ...
),
'aliases' => array(
// ...
'Instagram' => Andreyco\Instagram\Support\Laravel\Facade\Instagram::class,
// ...
),
Configuration
// Pushlish configuration file.
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Andreyco\Instagram\Support\Laravel\ServiceProvider\Instagram"
// Edit previously created `config/instagram.php` file
return [
'clientId' => '...',
'clientSecret' => '...',
'redirectUri' => '...',
'scope' => ['basic'],
]
Usage
In Laravel application, you can access library by simply using Instagram
facade, e.g.
Instagram::getLoginUrl();
For usage in pure PHP, you have to create instance of class.
$instagram = new Andreyco\Instagram\Client($config);
$instagram->getLoginUrl()
Authentication example
<?php
// Generate and redirect to login URL.
$url = Instagram::getLoginUrl();
// After allowing to access your profile, grab authorization *code* when redirected back to your page.
$code = $_GET['code'];
$data = Instagram::getOAuthToken($code);
// Now, you have access to authentication token and user profile
echo 'Your username is: ' . $data->user->username;
echo 'Your access token is: ' . $data->access_token;
?>
Get user likes example
<?php
// Set user access token
Instagram::setAccessToken($accessToken);
// Get all user likes
$likes = Instagram::getUserLikes();
// Take a look at the API response
echo '<pre>';
print_r($likes);
echo '<pre>';
?>

User methods
getUser()
getUser($id)
searchUser($name, <$limit>)
getUserMedia($id, <$limit>)
getUserLikes(<$limit>)
getUserMedia(<$id>, <$limit>)
- if an
$id
isn't defined, or equals toself
it returns the media of the logged in user
- if an
Relationship methods

getUserRelationship($id)
modifyRelationship($action, $user)
$action

$instagram->modifyRelationship('follow', 1574083);
?>
Please note that the modifyRelationship()
method requires the relationships
scope.
Media methods
getMedia($id)
searchMedia($lat, $lng, <$distance>, <$minTimestamp>, <$maxTimestamp>)
$lat
and$lng
are coordinates and have to be floats like:48.145441892290336
,11.568603515625
$distance
Radial distance in meter (default is 1km = 1000, max. is 5km = 5000)$minTimestamp
All media returned will be taken later than this timestamp (default: 5 days ago)$maxTimestamp
All media returned will be taken earlier than this timestamp (default: now)
Comment methods
getMediaComments($id)
addMediaComment($id, $text)
- restricted access: please email
apidevelopers[at]instagram.com
for access
- restricted access: please email
deleteMediaComment($id, $commentID)
- the comment must be authored by the authenticated user

scope.
Tag methods
getTag($name)
getTagMedia($name)
searchTags($name)
Likes methods
getMediaLikes($id)
likeMedia($id)

How to like a Media: Example usage Sample responses of the Likes Endpoints.
All <...>
parameters are optional. If the limit is undefined, all available results will be returned.
Instagram videos
Instagram entries are marked with a type
attribute (image
or video
), that allows you to identify videos.
An example of how to embed Instagram videos by using Video.js, can be found in the /example
folder.
Please note: Instagram currently doesn't allow to filter videos.
Pagination
Each endpoint has a maximum range of results, so increasing the limit
parameter above the limit won't help (e.g. getUserMedia()
has a limit of 90).
That's the point where the "pagination" feature comes into play.
Simply pass an object into the pagination()
method and receive your next dataset:
<?php
$photos = $instagram->getTagMedia('kitten');
$result = $instagram->pagination($photos);
?>
Iteration with do-while
loop.
Samples for redirect URLs
If you need further information about an endpoint, take a look at the Instagram API docs.
Example App
This example project, located in the example/
folder, helps you to get started.
The code is well documented and takes you through all required steps of the OAuth2 process.
