NAME
API::Instagram - Object Oriented Interface for the Instagram REST and Search APIs
VERSION
version 0.011
SYNOPSIS
use API::Instagram;
my $instagram = API::Instagram->new({
client_id => $client_id,
client_secret => $client_secret,
redirect_uri => 'http://localhost',
});
# Authenticated user feed
my $my_user = $instagram->user;
my $feed = $my_user->feed( count => 5 );
for my $media ( @$feed ) {
printf "Caption: %s\n", $media->caption;
printf "Posted by %s at %s (%d likes)\n\n", $media->user->username, $media->created_time, $media->likes;
}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',
});
print $instagram->get_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->code( $code );
my $access_token = $instagram->get_access_token;Request
With the access token its possible to do Instagram API requests using the authenticated user credentials.
$instagram->access_token( $access_token );
my $me = $instagram->user;
print $me->full_name;METHODS
new
my $instagram = API::Instagram->new({
client_id => $client_id,
client_secret => $client_secret,
redirect_uri => 'http://localhost',
scope => 'basic',
response_type => 'code',
granty_type => 'authorization_code',
no_cache => 1,
});Returns an API::Instagram object.
Set client_id, client_secret and redirect_uri with the ones registered to your application. See http://instagram.com/developer/clients/manage/.
scope is the scope of access. See http://instagram.com/developer/authentication/#scope.
response_type and granty_type do no vary. See http://instagram.com/developer/authentication/.
By default, API::Instagram caches created objects to avoid duplications. You can disable this feature setting a true value to no_chace parameter.
instance
my $instagram = API::Instagram->instance;
print $instagram->user->full_name;
or
my $instagram = API::Instagram->instance({
client_id => $client_id,
client_secret => $client_secret,
redirect_uri => 'http://localhost',
});Returns the singleton instance of API::Instagram.
Note: if no instance was created before, creates a new API::Instagram object initialized with arguments provided and then returns it.
get_auth_url
my $auth_url = $instagram->get_auth_url;
print $auth_url;Returns an Instagram authorization URL.
get_access_token
my $access_token = $instagram->get_access_token;
or
my ( $access_token, $auth_user ) = $instagram->get_access_token;Returns the access token string if the context is looking for a scalar, or an array containing the access token string and the authenticated user API::Instagram::User object if looking for a list value.
media
my $media = $instagram->media( $media_id );
say $media->type;Get information about a media object. Returns an API::Instagram::Media object.
user
my $me = $instagram->user; # Authenticated user
say $me->username;
my $user = $instagram->user( $user_id );
say $user->full_name;Get information about an user. Returns an API::Instagram::User object.
location
my $location = $instagram->location( $location_id );
say $location->name;Get information about a location. Returns an API::Instagram::Location object.
tag
my $tag = $instagram->tag('perl');
say $tag->media_count;Get information about a tag. Returns an API::Instagram::Tag object.
comment
my $comment = $instagram->comment('1234567');
say $comment->text;Get information about a comment. Returns an API::Instagram::Media::Comment object.
search
my $search = $instagram->search('user');
my $users = $search->find( q => 'larry' );
for my $user ( @$users ) {
say $user->username;
}Returns an API::Instagram::Search object, capable to search for the given type.
Where type can be: user, media, tag or location.
See API::Instagram::Search for more details and examples.
