MMM-Instagram - Pull and animate photos from Instagram feed

zeular

Okay, but is it possible? Anything you could implement? I would like to be able to get in family photos in chronological order. :)

@zeular I suppose that this could be implemented. The module could be updated to make multiple requests to various sources.

Given my current availability, this would not be something I can do in the near future.

@kapsolas I understand, but if you had time over, I would be grateful.
Thank’s anyway, for taking your time and reply.

kapsolas

@zeular You are welcome!
And to be clear, when you say pull from different API, you mean different services? Like Flickr, Instagram, etc?

zeular

@kapsolas No, I meant two different instagram accounts …

@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.
