# IG Follow Count [](http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-2.0.html)
A simple Instagram analytics tool that continuously logs and graphs your follower count.
## Themes
#### Default
#### Dark
#### Newsprint
## Setup
SSH into server, `cd` to the public root and clone project.
```sh
git clone https://github.com/josephfusco/ig-follow-count .
```
Copy `config-sample.php` to `config.php` in the project root and fill in the values.
```sh
cp config-sample.php config.php && nano config.php
```
Replace the text within the brackets along with the brackets with the proper values. To learn more about how to attain these values visit [https://www.instagram.com/developer/authentication/](https://www.instagram.com/developer/authentication/).
```php
/** Instagram user ID */
define( 'IG_USER_ID', '{your user id here}' );
/** Instagram access token */
define( 'IG_ACCESS_TOKEN', '{your access token here}' );
```
After saving the newly made `config.php`, we just need to set the cron job.
```sh
crontab -e
```
In this example we are running `cron.php` every minute which is located in the project root. Add the following to the file and save. (replace '{yourwebsite.com}' with your domain)
```sh
*/1 * * * * wget -O /dev/null http://{yourwebsite.com}/cron.php
```
Upon saving the file it should confirm with the following message: `crontab: installing new crontab`.
Sample data will keep being displayed until `cron.php` is first ran. Once ran it will initially create the `log.csv` file and the sample data will stop loading.
## CSV Format
`Time,Grams,Followers,Following`
\* _Grams_ represents the number of photos on your account at the time
## To Do
- [X] Create simple theme template system.
- [ ] Add pre-loader.
- [ ] Create install script for easier setup.
- [ ] Possibly break up log files into months or weeks for shorter graph load times.
- [ ] Live update graph.
