====================================

[](#abandoned-instagram-php-scrapper)

**This package is abandoned. Use original [postaddictme/instagram-php-scraper](https://github.com/postaddictme/instagram-php-scraper)**

This is the fork of [`postaddictme/instagram-php-scraper`](https://github.com/postaddictme/instagram-php-scraper) repo. Description from original:

> This library based on Instagram web version. We develop it because nowadays it is hard to get approved Instagram application. The purpose support every feature that web desktop and mobile version support.

Fork Information
----------------

[](#fork-information)

This fork provides ability to specify custom HTTP client for handling requests. Clients for [`guzzlehttp/guzzle`](https://github.com/guzzle/guzzle) and [`mashape/unirest-php`](https://github.com/Mashape/unirest-php) are included.

Also, proxy methods are removed from `Instagram` class: proxy should be configured for HTTP client (following the principle of separation of concerns)
