Instagram oEmbed (?)

[Steven Schneider]

This page from instagram says that using GET /oembed or GET /p/shortcode/media to send shortlinks and receive url of objects, that presumably can be served as images? Is there a standard way to issue & process these kinds of requests in TiddlyWiki? 

Ideally, we'd have a macro so that <<instagram id="fA9uwTtkSN" width="50%">> would display the photo, and  <$button><<getInstagram fA9uwTtkSN>></button> would import the photo as a tiddler.

Outside the range of my knowledge...but thought I'd ask.

Hi Steve

Instagram makes it quite easy to directly embed images if you know their ID. For example, this works out of the box in TiddlyWiki:

<a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/w1x9gVhQdR/" target="_blank”>

[img[http://instagram.com/p/w1x9gVhQdR/media/?size=t]]
</a>

The image sizes are:

t = 150 x 150 px

m = 306 x 306 px

l = 640 x 640 px

It should be quite easy to build a macro around that.

Embedding the entire Instagram post, complete with the text and buttons, is a slightly more complicated business, requiring using their API.

Funnily enough, I’ve just introduced a new plugin for embedding tweets, where there is no choice but to use their API:

Best wishes
