It also provides a DNA Elemental Element to display the feed. This is only a basic implementation and can be extended by your own needs. You need to provide an access token to use this module. To use this you need to create an instagram developer app and an instagram api app. See [External Requirement Setup](#external-requirement-setup) for more information. It is necessary to use a public instagram account to use this module (it's a limitation of the instagram api). - [Requirements](#requirements) - [Installation](#installation) - [Configuration](#configuration) - [Usage](#usage) - [External Requirement Setup](#external-requirement-setup) Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) - Silverstripe CMS ^6.0 External Requirements: - Meta Developer App [(Instruction)](#meta-developer-app) - Instagram Basic Display API [(Instruction)](#instagram-basic-display-api) - Public Instagram Account Installation ------------ [](#installation) ``` composer require pixelpoems/silverstripe-instagram-feed ``` Configuration ------------- [](#configuration) You can add your instagram access token (Follow [Instructions](#external-requirement-setup) to get the token) within a yml config: ``` Pixelpoems\InstagramFeed\Services\InstagramService: instagram_access_token: '' ``` or you set a `.env` Variable: ``` INSTAGRAM_ACCESS_TOKEN='' ``` If both variables are given, the yml variable will be used. Furthermore, you can set a default size: ``` Pixelpoems\InstagramFeed\Services\InstagramService: default_post_size: 250 ``` Usage ----- [](#usage) This module comes with a configured Instagram Feed Element (Usage with DNA Elemental). If you want to use the feed somewhere else you can include the service like this: ``` public function getInstagramFeed(): ArrayList { $service = InstagramService::create('page_' . $this->ID); // Make sure to use a unique identifier for the service for caching purposes // To use the reduced display which only renders images (no carousels or videos) $service->setReducedDisplay(true); return $service->getFeed($limit = 12); } ``` After that you can include the feed include in your template file: ``` ``` Caching ------- [](#caching) The Instagram Feed is cached for 60 minutes by default to avoid reaching the rate limit of the Instagram API. [Rate Limiting](https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/overview/rate-limiting/)You can change the cache time by setting the cache time in the yml config: ``` Pixelpoems\InstagramFeed\Services\InstagramService: cache_time: 3600 # seconds ``` The Instagram Post ------------------ [](#the-instagram-post) KeyDescription`ID`ID of the Instagram Post`MediaType`Type of Instagram Media `IMAGE` `CAROUSEL_ALBUM` `VIDEO``Link`Permalink for the Instagram Post`ProfileLink`Link of the Instagram Profile`Username`Username of the instagram profile`MediaSrc`Source of the Media (Image Source for `IMAGE`, First Image Source for `CAROUSEL_ALBUM` and Thumbnail Source for `VIDEO`)`VideoSrc`Video Source - only available for Media Type `VIDEO``Caption`Caption of the Instagram Post`Timestamp`Timestamp of the Instagram Post`Children`Contains the information of the child elements \[`ID`, `MediaSrc`\]- only available for Media Type `CAROUSEL_ALBUM``DefaultSize`Default Size of post `250`External Requirement Setup -------------------------- [](#external-requirement-setup) ### Meta Developer App [](#meta-developer-app) To use the **Instagram API** you have to create a **Meta App** first. 1.
