Instagram API allows developers to integrate Instagram’s core features like user profiles, photos, videos, and basic interactions into apps and services.
Requires Python: >=3.7


# Getting Started with Instagram API

## Introduction

Description of Instagram RESTful API.

Current limitations:

* Instagram service does not support [cross origin headers](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Access_control_CORS)
  for security reasons, therefore it is not possible to use Swagger UI and make API calls directly from browser.
* Modification API requests (`POST`, `DELETE`) require additional security [scopes](https://instagram.com/developer/authorization/)
  that are available for Apps [created on or after Nov 17, 2015](http://instagram.com/developer/review/) and
  started in [Sandbox Mode](http://instagram.com/developer/sandbox/).
* Consider the [Instagram limitations](https://instagram.com/developer/limits/) for API calls that depends on App Mode.

**Warning:** For Apps [created on or after Nov 17, 2015](http://instagram.com/developer/changelog/) API responses
containing media objects no longer return the `data` field in `comments` and `likes` nodes.

**_Note:_** Documentation for the client can be found [here.](https://www.github.com/MuHamza30/instagram-python-sdk/tree/1.0.0/doc/client.md)

The following parameters are configurable for the API Client:

| Parameter | Type | Description |
|  --- | --- | --- |
| environment | `Environment` | The API environment. <br> **Default: `Environment.PRODUCTION`** |
| http_client_instance | `HttpClient` | The Http Client passed from the sdk user for making requests |
| override_http_client_configuration | `bool` | The value which determines to override properties of the passed Http Client from the sdk user |
| http_call_back | `HttpCallBack` | The callback value that is invoked before and after an HTTP call is made to an endpoint |
| timeout | `float` | The value to use for connection timeout. <br> **Default: 60** |
| max_retries | `int` | The number of times to retry an endpoint call if it fails. <br> **Default: 0** |
| backoff_factor | `float` | A backoff factor to apply between attempts after the second try. <br> **Default: 2** |
| retry_statuses | `Array of int` | The http statuses on which retry is to be done. <br> **Default: [408, 413, 429, 500, 502, 503, 504, 521, 522, 524]** |

| api_key_credentials | [`ApiKeyCredentials`](https://www.github.com/MuHamza30/instagram-python-sdk/tree/1.0.0/doc/auth/custom-query-parameter.md) | The credential object for Custom Query Parameter |
| instagram_auth_credentials | [`InstagramAuthCredentials`](https://www.github.com/MuHamza30/instagram-python-sdk/tree/1.0.0/doc/auth/oauth-2-implicit-grant.md) | The credential object for OAuth 2 Implicit Grant |

The API client can be initialized as follows:

```python
from instagramapi.configuration import Environment
from instagramapi.http.auth.api_key import ApiKeyCredentials
from instagramapi.http.auth.instagram_auth import InstagramAuthCredentials
from instagramapi.instagramapi_client import InstagramapiClient
from instagramapi.models.o_auth_scope_instagram_auth_enum import OAuthScopeInstagramAuthEnum

client = InstagramapiClient(
    api_key_credentials=ApiKeyCredentials(
        access_token='access_token'
    ),
    instagram_auth_credentials=InstagramAuthCredentials(
        o_auth_client_id='OAuthClientId',
        o_auth_redirect_uri='OAuthRedirectUri',
        o_auth_scopes=[
            OAuthScopeInstagramAuthEnum.BASIC,
            OAuthScopeInstagramAuthEnum.COMMENTS
        ]
    ),
    environment=Environment.PRODUCTION
)
```

## Authorization

This API uses the following authentication schemes.

* [`api_key (Custom Query Parameter)`](https://www.github.com/MuHamza30/instagram-python-sdk/tree/1.0.0/doc/auth/custom-query-parameter.md)
* [`instagram_auth (OAuth 2 Implicit Grant)`](https://www.github.com/MuHamza30/instagram-python-sdk/tree/1.0.0/doc/auth/oauth-2-implicit-grant.md)
