Instagram API on Umbraco CMS


I have a problem, can u help me to solve it?

I need to run an API to import all the latest pics from Instagram to a website built in Umbraco platform.

I wanna do something like this: phpInstagramAPI, but I can't use PHP with Umbraco..


Solution

  • You can use Skybrud.Social to help facilitate the calling the Instagram APIs from your backend code. It is well documented at: http://social.skybrud.dk/instagram/. There is a package for using it with Umbraco but as the package description mentions, "Even though Skybrud.Social for Umbraco 7 is a package made for Umbraco, there is a good chance that you only need Skybrud.Social."

    If you just want to display recent Instagram photos on your site, it might be easier to go with a client-side solution like LightWidget.
