A PHP wrapper library for accessing Instagram's legacy API, providing OAuth2 authentication and methods for fetching user data, likes, and media. It is distributed via Composer and requires PHP 5.3+ with cURL.

Use cases

  • access instagram api from php
  • authenticate users with instagram oauth in my php app
  • fetch a user's instagram likes and media
  • get instagram login url for my website
  • integrate instagram photos into a php site
  • exchange instagram oauth code for access token

When to choose

  • maintaining a legacy PHP application already using this library
  • working with Instagram's old pre-2016 API endpoints
  • you need a simple, lightweight PHP client for the deprecated Instagram API

When to avoid

  • starting a new project, since Instagram's API changed in Nov 2015 and this library doesn't support the new API
  • you need access to current Instagram Graph API features
  • you need a maintained library with recent bug fixes and security updates
