Instablam

A jQuery plugin that grabs photos from Instagram

Very little setup is required to get the plugin up and running. You must have an Instagram developer account.

Features

• Automagically fetches more photos when the user reaches the last photo
• Remembers where a user left off when they revisit your website
  • Set 'rememberPosition' : true to enable
• Error Handling
  • If Instagram sends back an error, we'll let you know
• Get the number of photos that are tagged (with the specified tag)
  • Run the countTags() method to return the count
• Adds a style-able button to scroll the user to top of photos
• Ability to limit how many fetches a user can get

HTML

	<!-- Include The Javascript -->
	<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script>
	<script src="/path/to/jquery.instablam.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script>

Javascript

	// Start The Plugin
	$(document).ready(function(){
		$('#where-you-want-photos-to-go').instablam({
			'client_id'				:		'client-id',	// Your Instagram Client ID
			'tag'					:		'cars',			// The Tag You Want To Pull
			'maxFetches'			:		10,				// Limit The Number of Fetches a User gets
			'totalCount'			:		18,				// How many photos are displayed per page
			'scrollToTop'			:		true/false,		// Add the scroll to top button?
			'rememberPosition'		:		true/false,		// Set a cookie to remember the users position?
			
		});
	});

Release Notes:

• Currently, when you supply a client_id you (that id) is limited to 5000 requests per hour.
  • After that limit is hit, Instagram will send back an error
• In the near future, support for Implicit authentication will be added as an option
  • This allows for many more ways to use the API
