From last week, we noticed that we are unable to access some of the full-resolution Instagram photographs of our customers that are normally hosted in Amazon AWS. We noticed that some are now hosted in a new URL (most likely owned by Facbeook), e.g. http://origincache-frc.fbcdn.net/1388803_545828265488033_5521543_s.jpg
But these are low-res thumbnails.
Where are the actual full-resolution photographs now stored?
We know that 2 months back there are some changes to the prefix of the image URL.
But now this seems to be a whole new location and possibly naming convention as well.
Please help.
Thanks
Jeff
Change the last url part _s.jpg to _n.jpg, like the below:
before: http://origincache-frc.fbcdn.net/1388803_545828265488033_5521543_s.jpg
after: http://origincache-frc.fbcdn.net/1388803_545828265488033_5521543_n.jpg

Been going round and round on this one. Not a new issue but struggling to identify exactly why LinkedIn doesn't like my images and everyone else does. Facebook and twitter show ok with it
At first thought might be meta issue or cache issue (am familiar with the clear method) or image requirements stated by LinkedIn but ruled all that out. The ssl is a free one but soon to be using a wildcard as facebook didn't like it to see if that has any effect.
The image server uses node js express to deliver static files.
If I just share the image, that shows an error of: "Cannot display preview. You can post as is, or try another link." which points to the server and image to me instead of the website.
The site and images are on different servers with different setups.
Main url is https://rocketthomerentals.com/property/5-bed-house-to-rent-in-newcastle-under-lyme/102750000371
with the image of
http://media.estateapps.co.uk/487/102750000371_IMG_371_1_large.jpg
Anything else I can try? Should be getting the new wildcard SSL sorted early next week but posting here to see if there is anything else I am missing I can try to see if that has any effect.
Thanks
For anyone who's gone around in circles about this issue, was resolved by defining the content type as image, it was missing from the server config.
I have setup TomCat and THREDDS server (loaded war file) and attempted to serve up some *.nc files using via WMS protocol.
I can request the file but all I seem to get back is a black image.
I had something similar in geoserver but I was able to update the styles layer and setup ranges so that various colours were applied.
I have tried editing the 'wmsConfig.xml'and alter options such as the 'defaultColorScaleRange' but it doesn't seem to have the desired effect.
I have read the documentation a few times but I may be missing something , has anyone overcome this problem ? Any help would be great.
Cheers
Update 1
So as suggest below using the built in viewer I can see the image and this is what I would like to get by requesting via WMS.
Using built in viewer
address : http://10.19.38.63:8080/thredds/godiva2/godiva2.html?server=http://10.19.38.63:8080/thredds/wms/testAll/testData.nc#
Requesting initial attempt
http://10.19.38.63:8080/thredds/wms/testAll/testData.nc?service=WMS&version=1.3.0&request=GetMap&CRS=EPSG:4326&width=150&height=150&bbox=-10097025.688358642,-12875664.540581377,20037508.342789244,313086.06785608194&LAYERS=precipitation&format=image/png&STYLES=boxfill/red
Which returns just the black square :(
I will carry on and look at the WMS url used by th eopenlayers example, maybe thats the key... ill continue to update my questions as my journey begins :).
Update 2
Managed to work out that the SRS being passed in was incorrect and needed altering.
now next stage is to work out how to request a time series over a batch of NCDF files.....
Update 3
Managed to work out a way to automate requesting WMS services and with the aid of this great plugin for leaflet maps I have the desired output.
https://github.com/socib/Leaflet.TimeDimension
Basically call the WMS endpoint with getmap that I require building up the url relevant for the file I need to request.
The next step for me is looking at styled for the returned raster at this point seems like some Java code modification, but at least my initial problems have gone. phew!
Update 4
Gone away and tried to rebuild the Java on a project ncWMS which I found was standalone but now incorporated into THREDDS. Still having no joy with transparency raster created from NETCDF.
Looking at THREDDS code a bit more after I also tried changing palletes that didnt seem to work , issue raised
https://github.com/Unidata/thredds/issues/631
You haven't shared the full url of your THREDDS request, but 10.19.38.63/thredds/wms/.... is the service url for the WMS GetCapabilities file. Which is an XML file describing the WMS service. That is not the THREDDS url for viewing the WMS via ncWMS. You need to scroll down the page to the Viewers: section and choose the Godiva2 (browser-based) link.
I'm trying to build my app based on Windows Media Services REST API (i'm not using any SDK, just plain rest api requests).
My steps are more or less like:
Create Asset
Assign write Access Policy
Assign upload locator
Upload a file to URL specified by upload locator path
Assign download Access Policy
Assign download locator
All those steps seems to work great but - how can i actually get the video streaming URL? I can't see anything, which looks like such url (as far as i know, it should look similar to upload URL from upload locator). Should i "fold" it by myself using some segments from various parts of api ?
Based on this article, i should append the path parameter with name parameter and /manifest (so it should looke like that: <path_param>/<name_param>.ism/manifest) but it gives me ResourceNotFound error. Anyway, i've seen that other people (like SHIBSANKAR) have found some way to obtain all asset urls so i think there is some way to do it but they have not descrbed how they've done it.
After reading all the docs and talking with microsoft support, i have figured it out. All the URL parts are returned by download locator and the formula looks like that:
#{BaseUri}/video.mp4#{ContentAccessComponent}
I hope someone will find that usefull someday.
I am new to instagram and i am tasked to program an application to grab instagram photo uploads based on a certain hashtag. Meaning if the application is started and searching for the hashtag "#awesomeevent" any one that uploads a photo with that hashtags it will automatically be stored into our database.
The application should work something similar to http://statigr.am/tag/ but instead displaying the photos it should store the photos into the database.
What is the process of doing this. Any tutorials that has this from start to end. Even covering how to start creating a instagram app from scratch. any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Things we developers often overlook are the API Terms and Conditions. I've been there myself.
API TERMS OF USE
Before you start using the API, we have a few guidelines that we'd like to tell you about. Please make sure to read the full API Terms of Use
Terms of Use. Here's what you'll read about:
Instagram users own their images. It's your responsibility to make sure that you respect that right.
You cannot use the Instagram name in your application.
You cannot use the Instagram API to crawl or store users' images without their express consent.
You cannot replicate the core user experience of Instagram.com
Do not abuse the API. Too many requests too quickly will get your access turned off
However, a part in the terms also states that:
You shall not cache or store any Instagram user photos other than for reasonable periods in order to provide the service you are
providing to Instagram users.
Hope that's a start before you actually get coding and storing images.
API Terms of Use: http://instagram.com/about/legal/terms/api/
API: http://instagram.com/developer/
For starter, you should consult to instagram api.
As for the specific api you will need is:
/tags/tag-name/media/recent
For example, if you want to look for images from tag #awesomeevent, you will do an api query to:
https://api.instagram.com/v1/tags/awesomeevent/media/recent?access_token=ACCESS-TOKEN
I would have a look at the two libraries Instagram provides. The ruby library is at https://github.com/Instagram/instagram-ruby-gem and the python library is at https://github.com/Instagram/python-instagram
They both seem to have examples to get you started if you're programming with either libraries.
As far as the storing issue goes, could you instead store the URL address of the images instead of the actual images themselves? The API returns JSON information of which the URL of the images are returned.
Hope that helps.
You can use the below ruby script to retrieve the images and save them to a file. You can then either reference the file within the database or replace the last block with code for your particular database implementation. Without knowing your database type and schema, no one can tell you how to add something to it.
require "instagram"
require "restclient"
Instagram.configure do |config|
config.client_id = INSTAGRAM_CLIENT_ID
config.client_secret = INSTAGRAM_CLIENT_SECRET
end
instagram_client = Instagram.client(:access_token => INSTAGRAM_ACCESS_TOKEN)
tags = instagram_client.tag_search('cat')
urls = Array.new
for media_item in instagram_client.tag_recent_media(tags[0].name)
urls << media_item.images.standard_resolution.url
end
urls.each_with_index do |url, idx|
image = RestClient.get(url)
path = Dir.pwd + "/#{idx}.jpg"
File.open(path, 'w') {|f| f.write(image) }
end
I would like to download images with a certain tag from Instagram with their likes. With this post I hope to get some advice or tips on how to do this. I have no experience with web scraping related stuff or web API usages. One of my questions is: can you create a program like this in python code or can you only do this using a webpage?
So far I have understood the following. To get images with a certain tag you have to:
need a valid access_token to even gain access to images by tag, which can be done like this. However, when I sign in you need to give a website. Does this indicate that you can only use the API's on websites rather than a python program for instance?
you use a media Tag Endpoint to search for tags by name.
I have no idea what the latest step will return exactly, but I expect that it will give me a specific image id that contains the tag. Correct? Now I will also need to get the likes belonging to these images. Just like latest step from before:
you use a likes Tag Endpoint to get a list of users that liked the image of which of course you can get the length.
If I can accomplish all of these steps it seems like I can achieve my original goal. I googled if there was something out there already. The only thing I could find was InstaRaider, but this did not seem to fit my description because it web scraped only the images from a specific user and not by tag or its likes. Any suggestions or ideas would be very helpful, I have only programmed in python and Java before..
I can only tell you that for URL you can use the localhost as this:
http://127.0.0.1
OR
http://localhost
I have also tried to do exactly the same before, but I could not, so I used a website to search for tags and images:
