I've created an example application with Phoenix here
Add the following to your mix.exs
...
def application do
[mod: {InstagramPhoenixExample, []},
applications: [:elixtagram]]
end
...
defp deps do
[{:elixtagram, "~> 0.1.1"}]
end
...
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 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, []}
# 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, []}
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 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

It's mostly complete, but these things are missing:
- Pagination of results for certain data types
- Real time subscriptions
- Secure requests
