What it is AI-extracted, prompt v1, taxonomy v1, 2026-08-30, confidence not recorded
A Python 2/3 client library for the Instagram REST and Search APIs, supporting OAuth2 authentication, media access, and real-time subscriptions. It is officially archived and no longer maintained.
Use cases
- fetch a user's recent instagram media from python
- get popular instagram photos via the api
- authenticate instagram users with oauth2
- set up instagram real-time subscriptions
- build an instagram integration in python
When to choose
- you need a legacy Python client for the old Instagram REST API and understand it is unmaintained
- you are maintaining an old codebase already using python-instagram
When to avoid
- you need access to the current Instagram Graph API, which this library does not support
- you need a maintained or supported library
- you are starting a new project
