This package adds an Instagram post model to your Laravel application, for a cool feed or something like this.

The package relies on the `vinkla/instagram` package, and adds a solution to cache and a model

[![](https://repository-images.githubusercontent.com/221643787/bad3b180-06e3-11ea-919c-7cfe078d10e9)](https://repository-images.githubusercontent.com/221643787/bad3b180-06e3-11ea-919c-7cfe078d10e9)

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

You can install the package via composer:

```
composer require btechn01/laravel-instagram
```

Then run the migrations used for caching, as the API is limited to 200 calls/hour.

```
php artisan migrate
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

First you need to generate an access token using Pixel Union's [access token generator](http://instagram.pixelunion.net) or by creating an [Instagram application](https://www.instagram.com/developer/authentication).

Put this API key in your .env file

```
INSTAGRAM_KEY=YOUR_KEY

```

You can run the command to update the cache.

```
php artisan laravel-instagram:refresh
```

NOTE : you have to run the Laravel Scheduler in background to use this package. This package adds a command which is executed every 10 minutes to update the cache. [More info about the Laravel scheduler](https://laravel.com/docs/master/scheduling)

To retrieve all posts use the facade : (this is limited to the latests)

```
LaravelInstagram::getPosts()
```

You can specify a number of post to get, it will get the most recents ones :

```
LaravelInstagram::getPosts(4)
```

This returns a collection with all the posts stored.

On each post, you can get attributes:

```
// Full Size Image
$post->standardResolutionImageUrl
// Caption text
$post->captionText
// HTML formatted caption text (use {!! !!} to escape  tags)
$post->htmlCaptionText
// Link to the post
$post->link
```
