DESCRIPTION

This module implements an OO interface to Instagram REST API.

Authentication

Instagram API uses the OAuth2 for authentication, requering a client_id and client_secret. See http://instagr.am/developer/register/ for details.

Authorize

Get the AUTH URL to authenticate.

use API::Instagram;

my $instagram = API::Instagram->new({
		client_id		=> 'xxxxxxxxxx',
		client_secret	=> 'xxxxxxxxxx',
		redirect_uri	=> 'http://localhost',
		scope           => 'basic',
		response_type   => 'code',
		granty_type     => 'authorization_code',
});

my $auth_url = $instagram->get_auth_url;
print $auth_url;

Authenticate

After authorization, Instagram will redirected the user to the url in redirect_uri with a code as an URL query parameter. This code is needed to obtain an acess token.

$instagram->set_code( $code );
my $access_token = $instagram->get_access_token;

Request

With the access token its possible to request Instagram API using the authenticated user credentials.

$instagram->access_token( $access_token );
my $me = $instagram->get_user;
print $me->full_name;
