Show instagram feed without API in a TYPO3 extension

Instagram feed from a profile in TYPO3

Introduction

Because of the annoying Instagram API we searched for a simple way to show feed images without using any API. Inspired from the JavaScript plugin https://github.com/jsanahuja/InstagramFeed and there functionality we build the same with PHP.

Explanation

Very simple plugin where you can only add your instagram id and that's it. Because it could be that too much requests would lead to a ban, entries are cached for 24h via TYPO3 caching framework. A fluid template can be used to change the html markup. There are max. 12 images and text from a instagram profile page.

Installation

composer require in2code/instagram

Configuration

Overwrite and modify the HTML output:

plugin {
    tx_instagram_pi1 {
        view {
            templateRootPaths {
                0 = EXT:instagram/Resources/Private/Templates/
            }
        }
    }
}
