README

An Instagram scraper module for Silverstripe.

Requirements

• Silverstripe Framework 4.x
• Instagram PHP Scraper 0.9
• phpfastcache 7.1

Installation (with composer)

$ composer require 3dgoo/silverstripe-instagram-scraper

Usage

Import Instagram posts of a certain handle through running the following dev task:

php vendor/silverstripe/framework/cli-script.php dev/tasks/import-instagram-posts handle=<handle>

Sometimes Instagram may require us to log in to fetch this data. This can be done by adding the following to our .env file:

INSTAGRAM_USERNAME="<username>"
INSTAGRAM_PASSWORD="<password>"

Once our Instagram posts are imported we can display them with the following code:

PageController.php

use X3dgoo\InstagramScraper\Model\InstagramPost;

class PageController extends ContentController
{
    public function InstagramPosts($limit = 10)
    {
        return InstagramPost::get()
            ->filter([
                'Show' => true,
            ])
            ->limit($limit);
    }
}

Page.ss

<% if $InstagramPosts %>
<div class="instagram-posts">
    <% loop $InstagramPosts %>
    <div class="instagram-post">
        <a href="{$Link}" target="_blank">
            <img src="{$ImageThumbnailURL}" alt="{$Caption.LimitWordCount(20).XML}" />
            <div class="caption">
                $Caption.LimitWordCount(20)
            </div>
        </a>
    </div>
    <% end_loop %>
</div>
<% end_if %>
