# InstagramApi

<img width="300" src="https://agilie.com/instagram_api_gem.png" alt="Example">

A Ruby wrapper for the Instagram API. You can see the api endpoints here https://www.instagram.com/developer/endpoints/

## Installation

Install gem in your ruby project
```ruby
gem install instagram_api_client
```

or just add to it your `Gemfile`
```
gem 'instagram_api_client'
```
if you are on the Rails and run `bundle`

## Usage

Before you start making the requests to instagram API provide the `access_token` using the configuration
wrapping. If you are going to use **Subscriptions** you should add client_id and client_secret.

```ruby
InstagramApi.config do |config|
  config.access_token = 'put your token here'
  config.client_id = 'put your client ID here'
  config.client_secret = 'put your client secret here'
end
```

As for now Instagram access token doesn't change or expire, so you can use this simple-to-use service
to generate it http://services.chrisriversdesign.com/instagram-token/
I the nearest future the OAuth authorization for access token fetching will be implemented.

## Resources

The main module of the gem is `InstagramApi`. It provides a series of methods, regarding each Instagram resource. They are: 
`Users`, `Media`, `Comments`, `Likes`, `Tags` and `Locations`. So the `Users` resource methods can be accessed by `InstagramApi.user`
method, `Tags` by `InstagramApi.tag` and so on.

The main methods of each resource are `show`, `index`, `create`, `destroy` and `search`. The methods and API endpoints 
correspondence is as follows

|  Gem Action  |  API Endpoint  | 
 | -------- | ----- | 
 |  **User Resource** |  | 
 |  InstagramApi.user.show | GET /users/self | 
 |  InstagramApi.user(**user_id**).show | GET /users/**user_id** | 
 |  InstagramApi.user.recent_media | GET /users/self/media/recent | 
 |  InstagramApi.user(**user_id**).recent_media | GET /users/**user_id**/media/recent | 
 |  InstagramApi.user.liked_media | GET /users/self/media/liked | 
 |  InstagramApi.user.search(**search_query**) | GET /users/search | 
 |  *Relationship Endpoints block* |  | 
 |  InstagramApi.user.follows | GET /users/self/follows | 
 |  InstagramApi.user.followed_by | GET /users/self/followed-by | 
 |  InstagramApi.user.requested_by | GET /users/self/requested-by | 
 |  InstagramApi.user.check_relationship(**user_id**) | GET /users/**user_id**/relathionship | 
 |  InstagramApi.user.change_relationship(**user_id**) | POST /users/**user_id**/relathionship | 
 |  **Media Resource** |  | 
 |  InstagramApi.media(**media_id**).show | GET /media/**media_id** | 
 |  InstagramApi.media.short_code(**short_code**) | GET /media/shortcode/**shortcode** | 
 |  InstagramApi.media.search(**search_query**) | GET /media/search | 
 |  *Likes Endpoints block* |  | 
 |  InstagramApi.media(media_id).likes | GET /media/**media_id**/likes | 
 |  InstagramApi.media(media_id).add_like | POST /media/**media_id**/likes | 
 |  InstagramApi.media(media_id).delete_like | DELETE /media/**media_id**/likes | 
 |  *Comment Endpoints block* |  | 
 |  InstagramApi.media(media_id).comments | GET /media/**media_id**/comments | 
 |  InstagramApi.media(media_id).add_comment | POST /media/**media_id**/comments | 
 |  InstagramApi.media(media_id).delete_comment(**comment_id**) | DELETE /media/**media_id**/comments/**comment_id** | 
 |  **Tag Resource** |  | 
 |  InstagramApi.tag(**tag_name**).show | GET /tags/**tag_name** | 
 |  InstagramApi.tag(**tag_name**).recent_media | GET /tags/**tag_name**/media/recent | 
 |  InstagramApi.tag.search(**search_query**) | GET /tags/search | 
 |  **Location Resource** |  | 
 |  InstagramApi.location(**location_id**).show | GET /locations/**location_id** | 
 |  InstagramApi.location(**location_id**).recent_media | GET /locations/**location_id**/media/recent | 
 |  InstagramApi.location.search(**search_query**) | GET /locations/search |

Each method from the list above accepts a hash as a second argument with additional params according to official 
[instagram developers documentation](https://www.instagram.com/developer/endpoints/) i.e.

```ruby
InstagramApi.user.search('mell', {count: 10})
InstagramApi.user('my_user_id').recent_media({min_id: '22721881'})
```

Search method can get either a query string or a hash. It depends on API requirements, i.e.
```ruby
InstagramApi.user.search('mell')
InstagramApi.location.search({lat: 33.10, lng: 15.40})
```

Response is a `Hashie::Mash` object

## Subscriptions

Subscriptions is a useful feature which allows to receive notifications when people who authenticated your app
post new media on Instagram. You can find more information on https://www.instagram.com/developer/subscriptions/

#### Creating a subscription

Creating subscription is very simple. Just refer to the [original documentation](https://www.instagram.com/developer/subscriptions/) to
check the options available
```ruby
InstagramApi.subscription.create({
    object: 'user',
    aspect: 'media',
    callback_url: 'http://your.callback/url'
})
```
This method automatically generates `verify_token`. However, you can pass your own, if you prefer
```ruby
InstagramApi.subscription.create({
    object: 'user',
    aspect: 'media',
    callback_url: 'http://your.callback/url',
    verify_token: 'MyCustomVerifyToken'
})
```
#### Validating subscription

When you add a subscription, Instagram will send a GET request to your callback URL to verify the existence of the URL.
When Instagram has new data, it'll POST this data to your callback URL. To validate the subscription your callback action
should validate verify_token from instagram request and response with a `hub.challenge` parameter value.

You can easily implement it with a single line

```ruby
# CallbackController

# GET callback url action
def index
    render plain: InstagramApi.subscription.validate(params)
end
```
or
```ruby
# CallbackController

# GET callback url action
def index
    render plain: InstagramApi.subscription.validate(params, 'MyCustomVerifyToken')
end
```
if you are using your own `verify_token`

#### Managing subscriptions

You can easily get the list of your subscriptions
```ruby
InstagramApi.subscription.index
```

or destroy them if you prefer

```ruby
InstagramApi.subscription.destroy({object: 'all'})
InstagramApi.subscription.destroy({id: 1})
```

## TODOS

1. OAuth authorization for access token fetching
2. Incode Documentation
3. Cover functionality with tests
