General API Documentation
Usage
All the operations that contains information returned by Instagram are typed.
This implementation has all basic methods, here's a list of them:
void login();
void remove_profile_picture();
void set_private();
void set_public();
void follow(const std::string& user_id);
void unfollow(const std::string& user_id);
void block(const std::string& user_id);
void remove_follower(const std::string& user_id);
void unblock(const std::string& user_id);
void comment_like(const std::string& comment_id);
void comment_unlike(const std::string& comment_id);
void media_like(const std::string& media_id);
void media_unlike(const std::string& media_id);
void comment(const std::string& media_id,const std::string& comment_text);
IgTypes::UserCommentsRequest comments(const std::string& media_id);
IgTypes::UserListRequest get_user_following(const std::string& user_id);
IgTypes::UserListRequestFollow get_user_followers(const std::string& user_id);
IgTypes::UserFeedRequest get_user_feed(const std::string& user_id);
IgTypes::UserRequest search_username(const std::string& username);
void setProxy(const std::string& type,const std::string& address);
There's a example:
#include "include/Instagram.h"
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
int main()
{
Instagram instagram{"username", "password"};
try{
instagram.login();
}
catch(Network::Error& e){
std::cerr<<e.what();
}
//Get user id
auto user_id=*instagram.search_username("username").get_user()->get_pk();
//Get user feed like photos or videos
auto feed=instagram.get_user_feed(std::to_string(user_id));
//Iterate feed
for(auto item : *feed.get_items()){
//Print item id
auto id=*item.get_id();
std::cout<<"id: "+id;
//Like post
instagram.media_like(id);
//Unlike post
instagram.media_unlike(id);
//Comment post
instagram.comment(id,"hello");
//Get comment
auto comment=instagram.comments(id);
}
//Set profile private
instagram.set_private();
//Get followers
auto followers=instagram.get_user_followers(std::to_string(user_id));
for(auto follower: *followers.get_users()){
//print username
std::cout<<*follower.get_username();
}
//Follow user
instagram.follow(std::to_string(user_id));
//Set proxy, type would be http or https
instagram.setProxy("http","proxy.com");
}
Error Handling
To handle errors catch Network::Error &e and the output of e.what() will be the JSON error returned by instagram.
