I need to get media from connected instagram profile by hashtag. For most part, I was successful, however I stumbled upon a few limitation I cannot find workaround for.
When I fetch media on IG user, I can send username as a field and get it back. However, I cannot get username on IG hashtag, it is not listed as field in documentation, and throws error if I send one.
I don't want to get back albums on IG hashtag, just image and video, but I can't seem to find a way to filter by type
What is interesting, I found an example of site that displays username when filtering by hashtag, but the only way I could think of achiving this is to send request for media details for each media I receive. Needless to say, I want to avoid it.
Has anyone had a similar problem and solved it?
I have one question, with an Instagram Username. Can I get back data from that user? for example, get photos and number of followers? (only if profile is public)
I'm creating a website were users can upload their Instagram username #example and based on that scrap and create a profile on the website with their latest photos and the number of followers (all of this without logging).
I think This image will help to understand what I'm trying to achieve, Can someone guide me? this is possible with Instagram API?
Yes this was possible recently with https://www.instagram.com/<username>/?__a=1 but instagram recently blocked this possibility.
I'll update my post if I find a new method.
I have App what use in my website a widget by inwidget.ru : this widget show recent photos by special user or hashtag (people who have red heads and use #redpeopleorg in Instagram will show in my website http://redpeople.org).
After 17'November 2015 Instagram had change rules.
I made a screencast, send submission with description why I need live-mode and tried to get "public_content" permission in Instagram API, but they changed review status to "Declined".
Anybody have positive experience with reviewing applications in Instagram Api?
I don't know devs who had. Bat there's still a hope, e.g. you can parse public search results:
https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/hashtag/
I use a bunch of javascript code, that contains json string with all posts - just json_decode'd it.
When you open the Instagram APP you can look at your news feed where you can see that someone is now following you, likes or has commented on a certain photo.
When I look at the Instagram API (http://instagram.com/developer/) I can retrieve likes and comments when I request a certain media ID. However in order to know if someone has commented on a photo of mine I would need to scan all the photo's and request it's comments to check if any new comments have been made.
Does anyone know of a better way? Help is appreciated.
If it helps, content for "Following" tab is available at http://instagram.com/api/v1/news/, and "News" tab at http://instagram.com/api/v1/news/inbox/ (you need to be logged in to your account).
All URLs point to internal instagram:// protocol so you would need to replace them when parsing and there seem to be no pagination options.
Im trying to display in my website photos froma photoset I have in Flickr. In the documentation says:
You can construct the source URL to a photo once you know its ID, server ID, farm ID and secret, as returned by many API methods.
But I only know how to get the Photo ID. How can I get the rest of the information?
The simplest API is flickr.photos.search, and you can find the documents from
http://www.flickr.com/services/api/flickr.photos.search.html
And an example output could be found there.
when you get the ouput, a photo could be accessed by
http://farm{farm-id}.staticflickr.com/{server-id}/{id}_{secret}.jpg
