# instagram-feed
[](https://packagist.org/packages/yizack/instagram-feed)
PHP library to retrieve an Instagram profile feed, embed the feed of your authorized Instagram accounts on your website. The library uses the Instagram API with auto-refreshing access token support.
(Live [Demo](https://instagram-feed.yizack.com/demo/))
[](https://instagram-feed.yizack.com/demo/)
# Limitations
- Only available for Instagram Business or Creator accounts. (Since December 4th, 2024. [Read the Basic Display API deprecation note](https://developers.facebook.com/blog/post/2024/09/04/update-on-instagram-basic-display-api/).)
## Requeriments
- PHP Hosting (with `composer`, `file_get_contents()`, `file_put_contents()` support)
- Meta Developer App [[Guide]](#meta-developer-app)
- Instagram API [[Guide]](#instagram-api)
## Installation
To install the library, make sure you have [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/) installed and using your command terminal run the following:
```sh
composer require yizack/instagram-feed
```
## Use
Installing this library will allow you to use the `InstagramFeed` class by simply importing the composer autoload.
Import the composer autoload, use the namespace `Yizack\InstagramFeed` and initialize the `InstagramFeed` object.
```php
require "vendor/autoload.php";
use Yizack\InstagramFeed;
$feed = new InstagramFeed(
"long-lived-access-token" // Paste your long-lived-access-token here
);
```
To retrieve your Instagram feed array use the `getFeed()` function.
```php
$array = $feed->getFeed();
```
Or loop it directly in a `foreach` method wherever you need it.
```php
foreach ($feed->getFeed() as $value) {
// your code
}
```
The `getFeed()` function also accepts a comma-separated list of fields to be returned.
```php
$array = $feed->getFeed("username,permalink,timestamp,caption,media_url");
```
For a list of all available fields see: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/instagram-platform/reference/instagram-media#fields
## About the code
### `InstagramFeed` constructor arguments
| Argument | Type | Description | Optional | Default value |
|------------|--------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------|----------|----------------|
| `token` | string | Your Instagram `long-lived-access-token`. | No | |
| `path` | string | The path where the updated file will be saved on your server. | Yes | `ig_token` |
| `filename` | string | The name of the file in which the date of the last token update will be stored. | Yes | `updated.json` |
### `getFeed()` function
Updates the date of the last token update and requests feed data from an Instagram account.
Returns an array with the data of the last 25 posts with the following data for each one:
| Key | Description |
|-------------|----------------------------|
| `username` | Instagram username. |
| `permalink` | Instagram post permalink. |
| `timestamp` | Instagram post timestamp. |
| `caption` | Instagram post caption. |
| `id` | Instagram post identifier. |
### 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
Check the [`example`](/example/) folder for details.
