MMM-Instagram - Pull and animate photos from Instagram feed

[Garrett]

@kapsolas Forgive me if i’m wrong, (New Here) when you mean pulling images from your own feed, that means the images are loading from your own account correct? Anyway to pull from others users accounts? I know it states that in your Readme yet i’ve found no instructions on how that works. Basically I want it it load the “home feed” where other users posts you follow show up in. Any light in this area would be much appreciated! Thanks.

@Garrett Not sure if this is actually possible, but may be.
I would need to review the instragram API.
Currently, i was just interested in viewing my own photos when I wrote the module. it was more to meet my needs and then I shared it.

When I have some time, i’ll try to implement some of the requests folks have had.

@kapsolas In my case, I have two APIs from me and my wife’s account that I want to appear, I’ve tried to “just” to add two APIs, but it wasen’t that easy…

I first thought Instagram “sandbox” could import other accounts flow but it does not seem so. I have added my wifes account to my “sandbox” but there is no difference.

Hi @kapsolas,
I think I need some help with the settings for

min_timestamp: 0,

Is there a way to set show only images from today and show nothing if there is no image uploaded today?

Thanks for your help

@rudibarani Hi - There currently is no intelligence on the images selected. It just processes the list that is returned by the API and starts to randomly display them.

What you are asking for would need to be coded.

@kapsolas Thanks for the quick reply. Another question on the side: It seems that only images are are loaded that where on Instagram before I restarted my MM. Is that intended behaviour or am I doing something wrong?

		{
			module: 'MMM-Instagram',
			position: 'middle_center',
			disabled: false,
			config: {
				access_token: '####.####',
				count: 200,  
				min_timestamp: 0,
				animationSpeed: 2500,
				updateInterval: 30000
			}
		},

I waited an hour but non of my new images showed up. Only old ones. Even create a new account with only three images before booting my MM - and it keeps cycling those three and ignores later uploads…
Any idea?

Read my post 4 months ago. I changed the code and it works fine for me. As I am a copy-paste coder, I can’t post it here for not to be damned. :) But if we ask a author to fix it using my clues it would be nice to have a working module.

Thanks @Yurick for finding the solution to the problem. Would be great to see this implemented so everyone could benefit from @kapsolas module.

[kapsolas]

The module was not loading new images. I was thinking to fix that and I have a solution i am testing.

Sounds like @Yurick has a solution for this too. If he pm’s it i can test it and incorporate into the code
