Instagram Reaper

Set up wp_cron jobs to occur every minute, half-hour, hour, daily, or weekly. Saves instagram image data to database for use in custom theme development.

Saves image src's for full-size, low-resolution and thumbnail sizes. Also saves the like count for an image at the time of the api query, and will update this count should the image be part of a later query.

inst_reaper_get_harvest()

• returns array of image data for every image saved in the cron

  • id [the unique ID of the image in the WordPress database]
  • inst_id [the unique ID of the image as supplied by Instagram]
  • url [the url link to the image on Instagram]
  • src [the full size image url]
  • src_low_res [the smaller size image url]
  • src_thumb [the thumbnail size image url]
  • likes_count [the number of favories or likes of the image]
  • comments count [the number of comments of the image]
  • date_created [the date the image was created on Instagram]

$images = inst_reaper_get_harvest();
