# Instagram RSS action

A GitHub action that generates an RSS feed from a list of public Instagram accounts.

## Note about the Instagram API

This action uses [instagram-web-api](https://www.npmjs.com/package/instagram-web-api). The action only requires authentication in the form of your Instagram username and can only fetch posts from public Instagram accounts.

If you see this error: `TypeError: Cannot read property 'user' of undefined`. Either the Instagram account you entered is invalid or Instragram is ratelimiting your request. If the latter, try reducing your schedule to once or twice a day.

## Setup

To create an Instagram RSS feed that updates once a day and automatically commits the feed to your repository:

1. Make sure your GitHub repository has [GitHub Pages](https://pages.github.com/) enabled. Your feed URL will be whatever your domain is and then `instagram.json` (Example: https://katydecorah.com/instagram-rss-action/instagram.json). You can also change the feed filename using the `fileName` option.
1. Create `.github/workflows/instram-rss.yml` file using the following template:

## Set up the workflow

To use this action, create a new workflow in `.github/workflows` and modify it as needed:

```yml
name: RSS
on:
  schedule:
    - cron: "0 17 * * *"
  push:

jobs:
  generate_rss:
    runs-on: macOS-latest
    name: Generate RSS
    steps:
      - name: Checkout
        uses: actions/checkout@v3
      - name: RSS
        id: rss
        uses: katydecorah/instagram-rss-action@v0.3.0
        with:
          yourInstagram: instagram_handle
          listOfInstagrams: nytcooking,sohlae,swissmiss,soulfirefarm
      - name: Commit files
        if: ${{ success() && steps.rss.outputs.RSS_STATUS == 'success' }}
        run: |
          git config --local user.email "action@github.com"
          git config --local user.name "GitHub Action"
          git commit -am "Updated instagram.json"
          git push
```

## Action options

- `yourInstagram`: Required. Your Instagram username. This is required for authentication with the Instagram API.

- `listOfInstagrams`: Required. Public Instagram usernames comma delimited.

- `fileName`: The name of the JSON feed file name to be written. Default: `instagram.json`.

- `feedTitle`: The title of the RSS feed. This will appear as the title of the feed in your RSS reader. Default: `Instagram`.

- `pretty`: Remove hashtags and emoji from captions. Default: `true`.
