Instagram Node.js

Instagram's private API. Based on awesome project Instagram-API

Installation

$ npm install instanode

Testing

After install you can check how it work. Go to node_modules/instanode/test directory and make changes in test.js file.

const TEST_USERNAME = 'PLACE_YOUR_USERNAME_HERE'; 
const TEST_PASSWORD = 'PLACE_YOUR_PASSWORD_HERE';

And run mocha test

npm test

Initializing

To use the library, you'll need to enter your Instagram username and password. We can't implement OAuth authentication be-course it is closed API.

let Instanode = require('instanode');

let instaClient = new Instanode(YOUR_USERNAME, YOUR_PASSWORD);
instanode.login((err, result) => {
    console.log(result); // This is user signature object. Save it for next use without additional login
});

After that, you can do other API calls. Also you can just save result object as JSON string or other format and in next time use saved signature in instance

let instaClient = new Instanode(userSignatureObject);

Post a photo

It is very easy. Just make sure you have user-signature object or loggined instanode instance.

instaClient.uploadPhoto(PATH_TO_PHOTO_JPG, {caption: 'Caption for this photo'}, (err, result) => {
    console.log(result); // Result should contain some information about new photo
});

If you have only saved user-signature and don't want use instance with signature, you can pass it as option

instaClient.uploadPhoto(PATH_TO_PHOTO_JPG, {
    caption: 'Caption for this photo',
    userSignature: userSignature
  }, (err, result) => {
    console.log(result); // Result should contain some information about new photo
  });
