Please read the installation manual on how to set Zapier up. This requires just a few lines of Javascript and a touch of CSS. Therefore, we only have to visualize the RSS feed.

Both services allow you to create unlimited. The two most popular options are Lightwidget and Snapwidget. These feed generator options are a great option if you are using a hosted platform like Showit. Zapier takes care of the CORS policy on the RSS feed. Widget Generators are third party websites which allow you to create and customize your own embeddable Instagram feed widget.

When it discovers a new post/image, it adds this to a Zapier RSS feed that has nothing to do with Instagram. Using this token it listens to the users feed on a five minute interval. Zapier authenticates with Instagram and gets the required long lived access token. For the server-side part I used Zapier (for free). The solution I came up with is actually quite simple: fully split the server-side and client-side part and use XML(RSS) as an intermediate. I looked at skipping the authentication by scraping a users public profile page, but came to the conclusion that cross-origin resource sharing (CORS) and potential IP-blocking from Instagram would make that a difficult and unreliable route. A pure Javascript solution, like Instafeed.js, that directly gets content from Instagram, is no longer possible. The new Instagram Basic Display API requires server-side scripts. However, Instafeed.js was not only non-trivial to set up, but it also relied on the legacy API from Instagram that will be discontinued on March 2nd 2020 or March 31 2020. To show a users Instagram account pictures I have been using Instafeed.js. Still want Instagram on your website without API? Check my new post.
