django-easy-instagram
A Django application that provides a template tag for displaying content from a public Instagram profile. Has ability to cache files locally.
This was originally derived from Marco Pompili's version, but has now been largely rewritten.
Requirements
Installation
Install Django with your favourite Linux packaging system or you can use pip for installing python packages, if Django is not an official package for your distribution:
pip install django
Use pip to install Django Easy Instagram:
pip install django-easy-instagram
Pip should take care of the package dependencies for Django Easy Instagram.
Configuration
Add the application to INSTALLED_APPS:
INSTALLED_APPS = (
...
'sorl.thumbnail', # required for thumbnail support
'django_easy_instagram',)
Rebuild your application database, this command depends on which version of Django you are using.
Run your migations:
python manage.py makemigrations django_easy_instagram
python manage.py migrate
Usage
You can use recent_media (containing 10-12 recent entries) like this:
<!DOCTYPE html>
{% load instagram_client %}
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>{{ instagram_profile_name|capfirst }} Instagram feed</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>{{ instagram_profile_name|capfirst }} Instagram Feed</h1>
<div id="django_recent_media_wall">
{% instagram_user_recent_media instagram_profile_name %}
{% for media in recent_media %}
<div class="django_easy_instagram_media_wall_item">
<a href="//instagram.com/p/{{ media.shortcode }}" target="_blank">
<img src="{{ media.thumbnail_src }}"/>
<span>{{ media.description }}</span>
</a>
</div>
{% endfor %}
</div>
<p>Got from instagram</p>
</body>
</html>
Resizing and Caching Images
You are able to resize images, which will also mean they are cached locally rather than being loaded from Instagram's servers.
To enable this, ensure you have sorl.thumbnail in the INSTALLED_APPS, and that you have setup Django caching.
In order for requests to Instagram to work properly, you will need to ensure you set the sorl.thumbail setting:
THUMBNAIL_REMOVE_URL_ARGS = False
You can then use the local_cache template filter and specify a size:
{% for media in recent_media %}
...
<img src="{{ media.thumbnail_src|local_cache:'332x332' }}"/>
...
{% endfor %}
The images will be saved locally in a cache.
By default images will be resized and saved at 80% JPG quality, to override this you can use this setting in your Django settings file:
INSTAGRAM_CACHE_QUALITY = 90
Settings
INSTAGRAM_PROFILE- the Instagram username to fetch, used when no username is passed to the template tagINSTAGRAM_UA- overrides the user agent sent in the requestINSTAGRAM_PROXY- provide a URL for an HTTP proxy
The library will automatically retry up to 3 times if it encounters a non-200 response.
Thanks
The original version of this was built by Marco Pompili available here - abandoned. I've sinced rewritten it to work with Instagram APIs rather than via scraping.
