You can learn how to do so [here](https://github.com/mgp25/Instagram-API/wiki/Dependencies). ### Install this library [](#install-this-library) We use composer to distribute our code effectively and easily. If you do not already have composer installed, you can download and install it here [here](https://getcomposer.org/download/). Once you have composer installed, you can do the following: ``` composer require mgp25/instagram-php ``` ``` require __DIR__.'/../vendor/autoload.php'; $ig = new \InstagramAPI\Instagram(); ``` If you want to test new and possibly unstable code that is in the master branch, and which hasn't yet been released, then you can do the following (at your own risk): ``` composer require mgp25/instagram-php dev-master ``` #### *Warning about moving data to a different server* [](#warning-about-moving-data-to-a-different-server) *Composer checks your system's capabilities and selects libraries based on your **current** machine (where you are running the `composer` command). So if you run Composer on machine `A` to install this library, it will check machine `A`'s capabilities and will install libraries appropriate for that machine (such as installing the PHP 7+ versions of various libraries). If you then move your whole installation to machine `B` instead, it **will not work** unless machine `B` has the **exact** same capabilities (same or higher PHP version and PHP extensions)! Therefore, you should **always** run the Composer-command on your intended target machine instead of your local machine.* Examples -------- [](#examples) All examples can be found [here](https://github.com/mgp25/Instagram-API/tree/master/examples). Code of Conduct --------------- [](#code-of-conduct) This project adheres to the Contributor Covenant [code of conduct](CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md). By participating, you are expected to uphold this code. Please report any unacceptable behavior. How do I contribute ------------------- [](#how-do-i-contribute) If you would like to contribute to this project, please feel free to submit a pull request. Before you do, take a look at the [contributing guide](https://github.com/mgp25/Instagram-API/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md). Why did I make this API? ------------------------ [](#why-did-i-make-this-api) After legal measures, Facebook, WhatsApp and Instagram blocked my accounts. In order to use Instagram on my phone I needed a new phone, as they banned my UDID, so that is basically why I made this API. ### What is Instagram? [](#what-is-instagram) According to [the company](https://instagram.com/about/faq/): > "Instagram is a fun and quirky way to share your life with friends through a series of pictures. Snap a photo with your mobile phone, then choose a filter to transform the image into a memory to keep around forever. We're building Instagram to allow you to experience moments in your friends' lives through pictures as they happen. We imagine a world more connected through photos."
