@Gaurav, you can modify the _setOauthToken() method to pass along the “scope” as an additional parameter. The developer’s documentation has full details about how scopes work: http://instagr.am/developer/authentication/#scope

Hi Mauricio,
Thanks for this awesome API.
I have got most of the functions running properly, but for POST functions, i get Permissions error, like when following other user, i get error “This request requires scope=relationships, but this access token is not authorized with this scope. The user must re-authorize your application with scope=relationships to be granted write permissions.”

I know, i need to get Scope (Permissions), as relationships+comments+likes, but how & where to do that, i certainly don’t know.
Please help

Hi Mauricio,

How do I use this method of display instead of presenting only the most popular images as in the example?

/ **
* Get the most recent media published by a user.
* @ Param $ id. User id
* @ Param $ maxId. Average return after this maxId
* @ Param $ minId. Average return before this minId
* @ Param $ maxTimestamp. Average return before this UNIX timestamp
* @ Param $ minTimestamp. Average return after this UNIX timestamp
* /
public function getUserRecent ($ id, $ maxId =”, $ minId =”, $ maxTimestamp =”, $ minTimestamp =”) {
$ endpointUrl = sprintf ($ this-> _endpointUrls ['user_recent'], $ id, $ this-> getAccessToken (), $ maxId, minId $, $ maxTimestamp, $ minTimestamp);
$ this-> _initHttpClient ($ endpointUrl);
return $ this-> _getHttpClientResponse ();
}

I made this way was not successful:

/ / Instantiate the object handler API
Instagram Instagram $ = new ($ config);
$ $ = accessToken Instagram-> getAccessToken ();
$ _SESSION ['InstagramAccessToken'] = $ accessToken;

Instagram $-> setAccessToken ($ _SESSION ['InstagramAccessToken']);
$ = $ Instagram popular-> getUserRecent ();

@Dennis, replace the line:
$popular = $instagram->getPopularMedia(); with: $tags = $instagram->getTags(’example’); and that should do the trick!

@Andrey, you can retrieve the latest media for a given user with the getUserRecent() method.

Hi Mauricio,

I would like your help. How could I change the display of images of “popular” for profile pictures attached for example? I tried just changing the “getPopularMedia” by “GetRecentMediaForUser” but without success.

Hi Mauricio,

Is it possible to show all the photos of a certain hashtag ?
And show the last 10 photos of that hashtag.

Thanks in advance,

Dennis

How would one use this to just show images on a page. It seems that the authorization URL is required everytime to show anything. I would just like to display my images on a page. Thanks.
