###Setting up Instagram

To get started, create a new application on Instagram for your website by going to http://instagram.com/developer/.

Enter the Application Name, Description, Website URL and Valid Redirect URIs. For the redirect URL enter http://localhost:3000/instagram/auth. Once you are done registering you will be given a Client ID and Client Secret.

Once you have those four items open the server > .env file and enter:

  • Client ID string under INSTAGRAM_CLIENT_ID
  • Client Secret string under INSTAGRAM_CLIENT_SECRET

Also make sure to set:

  • INSTAGRAM_INTEGRATION_DISABLED to false
  • INSTAGRAM_OAUTH_ENABLED to true
  • INSTAGRAM_UPDATE_FREQ_MINUTES to the number of minutes you want to wait before updating the data. Note A small number is not always the best and it might make Syte2 slow, use a number close to how often you use Instagram.

Next, restart the server and open the following url http://localhost:3000/instagram/auth, you will be taken to Instagram's website and will be asked to sign in and authorize your application. After you authorized you will be taken back to Syte2 and you will be given your Access Token. Open the server > .env file again and enter:

  • Access Token under INSTAGRAM_ACCESS_TOKEN

Next, restart the server and open the following url http://localhost:3000/instagram/setup. If everything is setup right, this will fetch some of your recent posts and save them to the database. If you have posted something recently, you should be able to go to http://localhost:3000 and see that post in your stream and at this point your Instagram page should be working.

Note: As of June 1, 2016 personal websites will in Sandbox Mode, which means that only 20 of your recent posts will fetched
