I have been using instafeed on a few projects over the past years, all without to many issues. With Instagrams new API requirements im running into some issues and any help would be just super -
So far I have set up the basic API accsess (generated my ID and accsessToken) -
(so I have completed the docs here - https://developers.facebook.com/docs/instagram-basic-display-api/getting-started)
Im now trying to get my ClientID but cannot seem to find where to do this (given that this chnage is new, allot of the infomation I find online refers to the old way of doing this, which was from:
https://www.instagram.com/developer/clients/register/
However this now returns:
New registrations not supported anymore)
So questions (and again any help here would be really appreciated) -
1) Can you still use instafeed js to show your instagram posts on your site (with all these chnages to the API is it still valid for new accounts)
2) How can I now generate a ClientID?
i.e. (this is from instafeed.js)
var feed = new Instafeed({
get: 'user', // <-- new
userId: 'XXXXXXX <<<< GOT THE CODE', // <-- new
clientId: '??????????????? <<< **need this code for it to work**',
accessToken:'XXXXXXX <<<< Got the code',
template: '<a href="{{link}}"><img src="{{image}}" /></a>',
sortBy: 'most-recent',
limit: '6',
resolution: 'thumbnail'
});
feed.run();
Any help on this would be amazing - Sorry if I have asked questions in a junior dev way, I am what I am :P
As a last question (and a little cheeky) -
3) what pit holes have you found with regards to posting Instagram posts on your site with the new API settings (im asking this as "you can only know what you know and what you know you dont know") - so just making sure I havent overlooked something.
Thank you in advance, Warm regards, W
