instagram's Introduction

The original Instagram website and API client

This was the first web app that displayed profiles of Instagram users online. It was done by using Instagrams private API. Despite the fact that Instagram now displays user profiles on their official site, this app is still online.

The process of sniffing out their private API is described in my post: Creating the missing Instagram web interface.

Nowadays Instagram has an official API and many 3rd-party web sites that do interesting things with people's photos and data.

The code

The app is mostly contained in a single file: app.rb
The lightweight Ruby API client it is using: instagram.rb
The legacy API client (not to be used) is in lib/.

Update endpoints

Hi Mislav,

I found your instagram hub very interesting and I am currently using it for a personal project. Could you please update some endpoitns that are not working, for example:

http://instagr.am/api/v1/users//info/

and also the search endpoint for recent media.

Or could you tell me how to find these. I have triend many google seaches and always come back to your hub. It is the only source I have found that tells what the end points are and the paramenters to use for sending the request.

Thanks!
