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.

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.

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
