Instagram PHP Scrapper
======================

[](#instagram-php-scrapper)

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.

Code Example
------------

[](#code-example)

```
$instagram = Instagram::withCredentials('username', 'password');
$instagram->login();
$account = $instagram->getAccountById(3);
echo $account->getUsername();
```

Some methods do not require authentication:

```
$instagram = new Instagram();
$nonPrivateAccountMedias = $instagram->getMedias('kevin');
echo $nonPrivateAccountMedias[0]->getLink();
```

If you use authentication it is recommended to cache the user session. In this case you don't need to run the `$instagram->login()` method every time your program runs:

```
$instagram = Instagram::withCredentials('username', 'password', '/path/to/cache/folder/');
$instagram->login(); // will use cached session if you can force login $instagram->login(true)
$account = $instagram->getAccountById(3);
echo $account->getUsername();
```

Using proxy for requests:

```
$instagram = new Instagram();
Instagram::setProxy([
    'address' => '0.0.0.0',
    'port'    => '8080',
    'tunnel'  => true,
    'timeout' => 30,
]);
// Request with proxy
$account = $instagram->getAccount('kevin');
Instagram::disableProxy();
// Request without proxy
$account = $instagram->getAccount('kevin');
```
