Important Read

This plugin requires a valid access_token issued by Instagram. To get an access token, login to the Instagram Developer site, create an app and hit this URL in your browser (replace CLIENT-ID with your client ID and REDIRECT-URI with your redirect URI):

https://api.instagram.com/oauth/authorize/?client_id=CLIENT-ID&redirect_uri=REDIRECT-URI&response_type=token&scope=public_content

Instagram will redirect you to your redirect URL with the access token appended to it. It should look like this:

https://myredireturi.com?access_token=1730464.199554e.e561d1b801d74e35a1453110a44a09e8

Copy the access_token in the URL. This is what you'll need to use the plugin.

Instructions

Include jQuery and the plugin in the head or footer of your page.

<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.9.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

<script src="/js/plugins/instagramlite.js"></script>

Create a list with an ID or class that will contain the user's Instagram photos.

<ul class="instagram-lite"></ul>

Initialize the plugin targeting the class, ID or element and pass the function your access token.

$('.instagram-lite').instagramLite({
	accessToken: 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX'
});
