Statamic Instagram

Statamic Instagram lets you pull down users media and profiles from within your Statamic site.

How to Install

Run the following command from your project root:

composer require thoughtco/statamic-instagram

Configuration

A configuration file can be published by running the following command:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=statamic-instagram-config

This will create statamic-instagram.php in your config folder.

Usage

This package provides a light wrapper around https://github.com/pgrimaud/instagram-user-feed, which uses web scraping to get Instagram posts. This means you don't need to set up a Facebook or Instagram App to access it.

It requires an Instagram username and password to pull down data - you should create a throwaway Instagram account for this rather than using an actual account. Add the username and password to your .env:

STATAMIC_INSTAGRAM_USERNAME and STATAMIC_INSTAGRAM_PASSWORD.

Tag

This package provides an {{ instagram }} tag:

{{ instagram profile="robertdowneyjr" limit="6" as="ig" }}
    <div>
        {{ ig }}
            {{ media }}
            <a href="{{ link }}" >
                <img src="{{ thumbnailSrc }}" alt="{{ caption }}" />
            </a>
            {{ /media }}
        {{ /ig }}
    </div>
{{ /instagram }}

API

This package exposes the API provided by the instagram-user-feed package, so you can call any of the methods on it, eg:

app(\Instagram\Api::class)->getProfile('robertdowneyjr');
