# Elixtagram

### Elixtagram is a simple Instagram client for Elixir.

### [Read the docs](https://hexdocs.pm/elixtagram)

I've created an example application with Phoenix [here](https://github.com/Zensavona/instagram-phoenix-example)

## Usage

### Installation

Add the following to your `mix.exs`

````
...

def application do
  [mod: {InstagramPhoenixExample, []},
   applications: [:elixtagram]]
end

...

defp deps do
  [{:elixtagram, "~> 0.2.1"}]
end

...

````

### Configuration

Elixtagram will first look for application variables, then environment variables. This is useful if you want to set application variables locally and environment variables in production (e.g. on Heroku). That being said, I recommend using [Dotenv](https://github.com/avdi/dotenv_elixir) locally.

`config/dev.exs`
````
config :elixtagram,
  instagram_client_id: "YOUR-CLIENT-ID",
  instagram_client_secret: "YOUR-CLIENT-SECRET",
  instagram_redirect_uri: "YOUR-REDIRECT-URI"
````

`.env`
````
INSTAGRAM_CLIENT_ID=YOUR-CLIENT-ID
INSTAGRAM_CLIENT_SECRET=YOUR-CLIENT-SECRET
INSTAGRAM_REDIRECT_URI=YOUR-REDIRECT-URI
````

You can also configure these programatically at runtime if you wish:
````
iex(1)> Elixtagram.configure("YOUR-CLIENT-ID", "YOUR-CLIENT-SECRET", "YOUR-REDIRECT-URI")
{:ok, []}
````

### Usage

#### Authenticate a user

````
# Generate a URL to send them to
iex(1)> Elixtagram.authorize_url!
"https://api.instagram.com/oauth/authorize/?client_id=XXX&redirect_uri=localhost%3A4000&response_type=code"

# Instagram will redirect them back to your INSTAGRAM_REDIRECT_URI, so once they're there, you need to catch the url param 'code', and exchange it for an access token.

iex(2)> code = "XXXXXXXXXX"
"XXXXXXXXXX"
iex(3)> access_token = Elixtagram.get_token!(code: code).access_token
"XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"

# Now we can optionally set this as the global token, and make requests with it by passing :global instead of a token.
iex(4)> Elixtagram.configure(:global, access_token)
{:ok, []}
````

#### Unauthenticated endpoints

There are a lot of endpoints you can use without an access token from a user. Most methods can be called in one of three ways, for example:
````
# Unauthenticated
iex(1)> Elixtagram.tag("lifeisaboutdrugs")
%Elixtagram.Model.Tag{media_count: 27, name: "lifeisaboutdrugs"}

# Explicitly authenticated
iex(1)> Elixtagram.tag("lifeisaboutdrugs", "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX")
%Elixtagram.Model.Tag{media_count: 27, name: "lifeisaboutdrugs"}

# Implicitly authenticated (only works if you have configured a global token)
iex(1)> Elixtagram.tag("lifeisaboutdrugs", :global)
%Elixtagram.Model.Tag{media_count: 27, name: "lifeisaboutdrugs"}
````

#### Authenticated endpoints

Authenticated endpoints are mostly things which are about getting the current user's stuff
````
iex(1)> Elixtagram.user_feed(%{count: 2}, "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX")
[%Elixtagram.Model.Media{...}, %Elixtagram.Model.Media{...}]

iex(2)> Elixtagram.user_feed(%{count: 2}, :global)
[%Elixtagram.Model.Media{...}, %Elixtagram.Model.Media{...}]
````

All of the available methods and the ways to call them are [in the docs](https://hexdocs.pm/elixtagram/Elixtagram.html)

## Status

It's mostly complete, but these things are missing:

* Pagination of results for certain data types
* Real time subscriptions
* Secure requests


## Changelog

### 0.2.2
- Add pagination support for `user_follows`, this doesn't break the existing `user_follows/2` and `user_follows/3` API.

### 0.2.1

- Add `Elixtagram.authorize_url!/3`, which takes a `state` argument to pass back to the callback url. This is useful for things like CSRF protection ([read more here](https://instagram.com/developer/authentication/)). This change doesn't break or change the existing API.

### 0.2.0

- Change the api of `Elixtagram.user_follows/1` & `Elixtagram.user_follows/2` (now respectively `Elixtagram.user_follows/2` & `Elixtagram.user_follows/3`) to accept a `count` argument.
