• requests
• pillow
• configparser

Installation

Install Django and other required packages. It is very handy to use pipenv for this.

pipenv install django requests pillow configparser

By default, newly created Django project configuration uses SQLite. If you're using other database engine make sure you configure it properly beforehand.

Install Instagram profile package:

pipenv install django-instagram-profile

Create env.ini file inside your project directory with the following settings:

[instagram]
account = instagram_account_name
auth_url = https://api.instagram.com/oauth/authorize
access_token_url = https://api.instagram.com/oauth/access_token
app_id = 123
secret = abc
redirect_url = https://mysite.com/admin/instagram_profile/post/sync
media_url = https://graph.instagram.com

Configuration

Add the application to INSTALLED_APPS:

INSTALLED_APPS = ('instagram_profile',)

Create a folder for Instagram media

/project_name/media/instagram

Configure correct paths for uploaded instagram media in settings.py

SITE_ROOT = os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__))))
MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(SITE_ROOT, 'media')
MEDIA_URL = '/media/'

Add media template context processor in the settings.py

TEMPLATES = [
    {
        'OPTIONS': {
            'context_processors': [
                'django.template.context_processors.media', # add this line
            ],
        },
    },
]

Add url to display instagram media feed in urls.py

urlpatterns = [
    path('instagram/', include('instagram_profile.urls')), # add this line
]

To serve media files during development need to add following lines to urls.py

if settings.DEBUG:
    urlpatterns += static(settings.MEDIA_URL, document_root=settings.MEDIA_ROOT)

python manage.py migrate
