Passport strategy for authenticating with Instagram using the OAuth 2.0 API.
This module lets you authenticate using Instagram in your Node.js applications. By plugging into Passport, Instagram authentication can be easily and unobtrusively integrated into any application or framework that supports Connect-style middleware, including Express.

$ npm install passport-instagramThe Instagram authentication strategy authenticates users using a Instagram
account and OAuth 2.0 tokens. The strategy requires a verify callback, which
accepts these credentials and calls done providing a user, as well as
options specifying a client ID, client secret, and callback URL.
passport.use(new InstagramStrategy({
clientID: INSTAGRAM_CLIENT_ID,
clientSecret: INSTAGRAM_CLIENT_SECRET,
callbackURL: "http://127.0.0.1:3000/auth/instagram/callback"
},
function(accessToken, refreshToken, profile, done) {
User.findOrCreate({ instagramId: profile.id }, function (err, user) {
return done(err, user);
});
}
));Use passport.authenticate(), specifying the 'instagram' 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: '/login' }),
function(req, res) {
// Successful authentication, redirect home.
res.redirect('/');
});For a complete, working example, refer to the login example.
$ npm install --dev
$ make test
