## What it is
Instafeed.js is a lightweight JavaScript plugin that displays Instagram photos on a website. It fetches images via the Instagram API and renders them with minimal setup, though token management now requires a server-side component.

## Use cases
- display instagram photos on my website
- embed an instagram feed in a webpage
- show my latest instagram posts on a blog
- add an instagram photo gallery to a site
- render instagram images with plain javascript

## When to choose
- you want a tiny dependency-free way to render an Instagram feed client-side
- you already manage your own Instagram API tokens server-side
- you need a simple MIT-licensed plugin you can customize

## When to avoid
- you need hashtag feeds or turnkey token management without a backend
- you want a hosted widget with zero configuration
- your project requires the old public Instagram API, which no longer exists

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: active
- function: ui-components, http-client, web-scraping
- domain: web-development, frontend, social-media, media
- platform: browser
