It's Instagram Graph SDK for PHP.

With this package you can easily make all requests to Instagram Graph API, like Auth and CRUD. Also, we will have more methods regularly.

This project adheres to a Contributor Code of Conduct. By participating in this project and its community, you are expected to uphold this code.

Installation

The preferred method of installation is via Composer. Run the following command to install the package and add it as a requirement to your project's composer.json:

Requirements

PHP Version Package Version Connection Type Required Parameters
>= 7.0 1.x Facebook Graph Login FACEBOOK_APP_ID | FACEBOOK_APP_SECRET
>= 8.0 2.x Facebook Graph Login FACEBOOK_APP_ID | FACEBOOK_APP_SECRET
>= 8.0 3.x Instagram Graph Login INSTAGRAM_APP_ID | INSTAGRAM_APP_SECRET
>= 8.0 4.x Instagram Graph Login INSTAGRAM_APP_ID | INSTAGRAM_APP_SECRET

*Please remember that you need a verified Facebook APP to use this sdk.

Configuration

The SDK sends requests through any PSR-18 HTTP client. If your project does not have one yet:

composer require guzzlehttp/guzzle

Put these values in your .env file:

INSTAGRAM_APP_ID="<YOUR_INSTAGRAM_APP_ID>" // Get it from your Meta developer dashboard
INSTAGRAM_APP_SECRET="<YOUR_INSTAGRAM_APP_SECRET>" // Get it from your Meta developer dashboard
INSTAGRAM_CALLBACK_URL="https://yoursite.com/instagram/callback" // Instagram callback after login
INSTAGRAM_GRAPH_VERSION="v21.0" // Optional, defaults to v21.0

Reading a .env file needs vlucas/phpdotenv; without it the SDK still reads $_ENV, $_SERVER and getenv(). Inside a framework, skip the environment and pass a Config instead:

use Amirsarhang\Config;
use Amirsarhang\Instagram;

$config = new Config(
    appId: config('instagram.app_id'),
    appSecret: config('instagram.app_secret'),
    redirectUri: config('instagram.callback_url'),
);

$instagram = new Instagram($accessToken, $config);

The three credentials are only needed for the login flow. Calls made with an access token you already hold require none of them.

Login

use Amirsarhang\Instagram;
...
public function login()
{
    // Go to Meta Documentations to see available permissions
    $permissions = [
        'instagram_business_basic',
        'instagram_business_manage_messages',
        'instagram_business_manage_comments',
    ];

    $url = (new Instagram())->oauth()->loginUrl($permissions);

    return header("Location: ".$url);
}
  • Please remember that your added permissions need verified by Meta.

Here you can find Meta Permissions.

Generate & Save the Access Token in your database.

use Amirsarhang\Instagram;
...
public function callback()
{
    // Get 'code' query string from Callback URL (ex. /callback?code=AQD5...)
    return (new Instagram())->oauth()->connect($_GET['code']);
}

Sample Response

{
  "access_token": "IGQWRNSElpaDlWa0h1OXjsDhr8V3o0RHg2c2MyS2VTbmlyZA3k4ZAF8yT0Vh...",
  "token_type": "bearer",
  "expires_in": 5183944, // Access token expire timestamp (about 2 months)
  "id": "1234567890123456", // Instagram page ID
  "name": "Test Page", // Instagram page name
  "username": "test_page" // Instagram page username
}

Long lived tokens last about 60 days. Refresh one before it expires:

$instagram->oauth()->refreshToken($currentToken);

After storing the account, call subscribe() to start receiving real time events.

use Amirsarhang\Instagram;
...
public function registerWebhook()
{
    $instagram = new Instagram("<ACCESS_TOKEN>");

    // Default subscribe with "messages" field
    return $instagram->webhooks()->subscribe();

    // Or pass the fields you need.
    // Your app does not receive notifications for changes to a field
    // unless you configure Page subscriptions in the App Dashboard and subscribe to that field.
    return $instagram->webhooks()->subscribe(["messages", "comments"]);
}

Check this link for more details about page subscriptions.

Usage

use Amirsarhang\Instagram;
...
public function userInfo()
{
    $instagram = new Instagram($accessToken);

    return $instagram->account()->me();
}

Methods

Comment Methods

// Get default Comment fields data (timestamp, text, id)
$instagram->comments()->get($comment_id);

// If you need other fields, you can send them as an array
$instagram->comments()->get($comment_id, ['media', 'like_count']);

// Reply to a comment, or comment on a media object
$instagram->comments()->reply($comment_id, 'Test Reply');

// Hide & UnHide
$instagram->comments()->hide($comment_id);
$instagram->comments()->hide($comment_id, false);

$instagram->comments()->delete($comment_id);

Messaging Methods

use Amirsarhang\AttachmentType;

// Get default Message fields data (message, from, created_time, attachments, id)
$instagram->messages()->get($message_id);

// If you need other fields, you can send them as an array
$instagram->messages()->get($message_id, ['attachments', 'from']);

$instagram->messages()->sendText($recipient_id, 'Test DM');

$instagram->messages()->sendMedia($recipient_id, '<IMAGE_URL>');
$instagram->messages()->sendMedia($recipient_id, '<VIDEO_URL>', AttachmentType::VIDEO);

Webhook Methods

$instagram->webhooks()->subscribe(['messages', 'comments']);
$instagram->webhooks()->subscriptions();
$instagram->webhooks()->unsubscribe();

Raw Requests

For endpoints this SDK does not wrap yet:

$instagram->get('/me/media', ['fields' => 'id,caption,media_url']);
$instagram->post($endpoint, $params);
$instagram->delete($endpoint);

Error Handling

Every failure throws. Catch InstagramException for everything, or GraphException when you need the details Instagram sent back:

use Amirsarhang\Exception\GraphException;
use Amirsarhang\Exception\InstagramException;
...
try {
    $instagram->comments()->reply($comment_id, 'Thanks!');
} catch (GraphException $e) {
    if ($e->errorCode() === 190) {
        return $this->requireReauthentication();
    }

    report($e->getMessage().' (trace '.$e->traceId().')');
} catch (InstagramException $e) {
    report($e->getMessage());
}

I will add more Useful methods as soon as possible :)

Using Your Own HTTP Client

The constructor accepts any PSR-18 client, which is where middleware, proxies, retries and timeouts belong:

use Amirsarhang\Instagram;
use GuzzleHttp\Client;

$instagram = new Instagram($token, null, new Client(['timeout' => 10]));

Multiple Accounts

withToken() returns a copy for another account, reusing the same HTTP client and configuration:

$other = $instagram->withToken($anotherAccountToken);

Upgrading from 3.x

Your 3.x method names still work; they forward to the new API. The full list of changes is in UPGRADE.md.

Check out the documentation website for detailed information and code examples.

Testing

composer install
composer run test
