Small snippet (widget): Instagram Latest Posts

I can confirm this Extra is still working as of today. Thanks Fuzzy.

This doesn't seem to be working now - anybody else?

Hi chrisandy,

What issues do you have with this extra? Do you see anything in /core/cache/instagram_latest_posts directory?

Looks like we have found the issue: https://github.com/igorsuhinin/modx-instagram-latest-posts/issues/6. I will check it and reply back when it's solved. [ed. note: suhinin last edited this post 6 years, 5 months ago.]

Hi, the InstagramLatestPosts snippet is also here not longer working. It gives this message:
"Error: The remote loading of JSON content failed. Please check if your account name is correct."
Did Instagram change their API or do we need to have an API key to obtain post from an account (like google maps)

The link you post about the issue is no longer working. (above this post)

Hope a solution comes.

In fact it was always required. I just found some workaround using non-documented way to get the latest posts from Instagram without API. Looks like they changed URL and the data structure so the code should be changed as well.

Fixed. It was an issue of bad forum parser. It added . (dot) to URL so it was wrong.

Now I'm getting many support requests regarding this issue. I didn't even realize how many people were using this script Looks like it's quite useful one. Currently I'm quite busy but I'll try to find some time to fix the issue.

I will post the update on the forums as well.

Same issue here.
In the meantime is there something we can change ourselves in order to rectify the error message?

JFYI I get the following in the error logs:
[2017-11-09 14:54:54] (ERROR @ /home/mywebsite/public_html/core/cache/includes/elements/modsnippet/62.include.cache.php : 241) PHP warning: file_get_contents(https://www.instagram.com/myInstagram/media/): failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found

Thanks for looking into this - it is indeed a useful snippet

Hello Fuzzy. Great to hear you intend to send a fix out. Do you have any estimate when this is planned. If its not going to be fixed no problem. Just tell us so we know and we have to find an other solution. (Or maybe some Modx Developers can help us)

Hi guys,

Sorry for being quiet for a while. I was just too busy with other things. I'm going to work on this tonight. I can't say yet if there is any simple/quick solution. I will post the update here within 8 hours.
