Notice: Repository archieved
============================

[](#notice-repository-archieved)

Instagram is going to such extent to protect their platform as to make scraping it a great endeavour and defeating the purpose of this library, meant to be of simple use.
I am sorry, but out there are projects better suited for it.

Instagram scraping
==================

[](#instagram-scraping)

This is a PHP library to scrap pictures of profile pages on Instagram. No api token needed.

Why ?
-----

[](#why-)

Some people like to have their Instagram pictures displayed on their website, creating an app and generating a token is too much work for public available information, hence this library.

What ?
------

[](#what-)

This library will not fetch one's entire gallery, only the few most recent pictures displayed on one's profile page. If you want to display more than 12 pictures at a time you may want to consider caching preview requests.

How ?
-----

[](#how-)

Just pass the user's handle to the constructor and call the ::fetch() method.

```
use AdinanCenci\ScrapingInstagram\Instagram;

$scraper  = new Instagram('noobmaster');

try {
    $pictures = $scraper->fetch();
} catch (\Exception $e) {
    echo
    'Error: '.$e->getMessage();
    die();
}
```

It will return an array describing the pictures like so:

```
[
    {
        "caption": "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur ....",
        "src": "https://instagram.ffln3....",
        "thumbnails": {
            "150x150": "https://instagram.ffln....",
            "240x240": "https://instagram.ffln....",
            "320x320": "https://instagram.ffln....",
            "480x480": "https://instagram.ffln....",
            "640x640": "https://instagram.ffln...."
        }
    },
    {
        "caption": "Sed ut perspiciatis unde omnis iste ....",
        "src": "https://instagram.ffln3....",
        "thumbnails": {
            "150x150": "https://instagram.ffln....",
            "240x240": "https://instagram.ffln....",
            "320x320": "https://instagram.ffln....",
            "480x480": "https://instagram.ffln....",
            "640x640": "https://instagram.ffln...."
        }
    },
    {
        "caption": "At vero eos et accusamus et iusto odio ....",
        "src": "https://instagram.ffln3....",
        "thumbnails": {
            "150x150": "https://instagram.ffln....",
            "240x240": "https://instagram.ffln....",
            "320x320": "https://instagram.ffln....",
            "480x480": "https://instagram.ffln....",
            "640x640": "https://instagram.ffln...."
        }
    }
]
```

#### ::unique()

[](#unique)

A little method to remove duplicated pictures, helpful if you will be merging requests.

```
$newPictures = $scrapper->fetch();
$pictures    = array_merge($newPictures, $oldPictures);
$pictures    = Instagram::unique($pictures);
```

Installing
----------

[](#installing)
