FAQ

After the download, you have to make one include require_once('vendor/autoload.php');. After that you have to import the classes with use statements.

Example:
If you use only one package a project is not needed. But if you use more then one package, without a project it is not possible to import the classes with use statements.

In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
Some PHP packages are not free to download and because of that hosted in private repositories. In this case some credentials are needed to access such packages. Please use the auth.json textarea to insert credentials, if a package is coming from a private repository. You can look here for more information.

  • Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
  • To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
  • Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
  • If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
  • Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.

path string The path where the updated file will be saved on your server. Yes ig_token
filename string The name of the file in which the date of the last token update will be stored. Yes updated.json

Updates the date of the last token update and requests feed data from an Instagram account.

Returns an array with the data of the last 25 posts with the following data for each one:

Key Description
username Instagram username.
permalink Instagram post permalink.
timestamp Instagram post timestamp.

id Instagram post identifier.

Long-Lived Access token

This approach uses Long-Lived Access Tokens obtained by authorizing your Instagram account with your Meta App.

Since Long-lived tokens are valid for 60 days and can be refreshed as long as they are at least 24 hours old and not expired, the getFeed() method will refresh your token everytime it is been called if 24 hours have passed.

Tokens that have not been refreshed in 60 days will expire and can no longer be refreshed, so be sure to visit often the site where you placed the feed.

Example of use
