How to Use

Installation

• Install the addon
• Publish the addon config by running php artisan vendor:publish --tag=statamic-instagram-config
• Add your Access Token to the account section in the published config file. If you do not have a token, follow the instructions below.

Creating a Meta App / an Access Token

Create an Access Token for the API with these steps:

• Login with your Instagram credentials at https://developers.facebook.com
• Create a new app (choose Other as use case and Business as the app type)
• Add Instagram as a product to your app
• Link your instagram account at 1. Generate access tokens in the API setup with Instagram login section of your app
• Generate a token and add it to the config in Statamic

Further information on that topic in Meta's docs.

Display the feed

There is a {{ instagram:feed }} tag, that fetches the media from the API and returns them as an array.

• The limit parameter defaults to 12.
• The handle parameter defaults to the first account in the config.

Display a specific media

There is a {{ instagram:media }} tag, that fetches just one specific media.

• The id parameter is required.
• The handle parameter defaults to the first account in the config.

Display profile data

There is a {{ instagram:profile }} tag, that fetches the profile information from the API and returns them as an array.

• The handle parameter defaults to the first account in the config.

Manipulate an image

You can manipulate external Instagram image URLs with Glide as usual:

_Since Statamic v5.43.0, Glide supports external URLs with query params. Therefore, v2 of this addon removes the ability to proxy images and drops the ig_proxy modifier._

Refreshing Tokens

A long-lived access token is valid for two months. This would mean that it has to be refreshed manually before it expires. When using the {{ instagram:feed }} {{ instagram:media }} tags, this is handled automatically for you.

If you use the API exclusively in PHP, please make sure that you update the token yourself via the scheduler:

Please note that the frequency has to be between one day and the mentioned two months until the token expires.

Child Media (Album)

By default, the addon does not fetch child media for e.g. Albums since that requires additional requests to the API. Therefore children is null. In case you need child media, you can enable include_child_posts in the addon config.

Using the API in PHP

There is a dedicated InstagramAPI class to interact with the API. Its public methods are:

• cacheKey(...$parts): string
• profile(): Profile
• feed(): Collection
• getAccount(): Account
• getLimit(): int
• setLimit(int $limit): static
• getUserId(): string
• getHandle(): string
• setHandle(string $handle): static
• media(int $id): ?Media
• refreshAccessToken(): bool

For example, this is how you fetch the feed. This will return you a Collection of Media objects.
