Passport strategy for authenticating with Instagram using the OAuth 2.0 API.
This module lets you validate a user's identitiy on Instagram using Facebook's Basic Auth for Instagram. By plugging into Passport, Instagram Baisc Auth authentication can be easily and unobtrusively integrated into any application or framework that supports Connect-style middleware, including Express.
$ npm install passport-instagram-basic-auth
Before using passport-instagram-basic-auth
, you must register an application with
Facebook then register a Instagram Basic Auth application. If you have not already done so, a new application can be created at
Facebook Developers. Your application will
be issued an app ID and app secret, which need to be provided to the strategy.
You will also need to configure a redirect URI which matches the route in your
application.
The Instagram Basic Auth authentication strategy authenticates users using a Facebook account and OAuth 2.0 tokens. You must supply the clientID
passport.use(new InstagramStrategy({
clientID: process.env.INSTAGRAM_CLIENT_ID,
consumerSecret: process.env.INSTAGRAM_CLIENT_SECRET,
callbackURL: process.env.INSTAGRAM_CALLBACK_URL,
passReqToCallback: true
},
function (request, token, tokenSecret, profile, done) {
}));
Use passport.authenticate()
, specifying the 'facebook'
strategy, to
authenticate requests.
For example, as route middleware in an Express application:
app.get('/auth/instagram', passport.authenticate('instagram'));
app.get('/auth/instagram/callback',
passport.authenticate('instagram', { failureRedirect: '/register' }),
function(req, res) {
res.redirect('/'); //or wherever you want
});
Developers using the popular Express web framework can refer to an example as a starting point for their own web applications.
