Pic Puller is an ExpressionEngine module that integrates Instagram into your ExpressionEngine site, version 2.3.1+. It walks through setting up an account with Instagram, creating an app, and integrating it into your EE site. You can pull any number of users photos, any user's liked photos, photos by tag, and more. Includes Instagram fieldtype for image browsing from within the control panel. NEW: Compatible with MSM.

Pic Puller for Instagram

Now compatible with MSM.

Pic Puller for Instagram assists you in setting up an Instagram application that lives within your ExpressionEngine site.

Includes the Pic Puller Instagram Browser to help users choose individual images from their photo stream for use with the Pic Puller ‘media’ tag.

Users can then authenticate your Instragram application through the ExpressionEngine control panel or from the front end of your site for added flexibility.

Compatible with ExpressionEngine Multiple Site Manage (MSM). Allows you to have an Instagram for every site you manage with MSM.

Instagram authorization handled with oAuth so no passwords are stored in your ExpressionEngine database.

Once access is granted,  your site can pull a user’s most recent photos, their liked photos, their personal Instragram feed, and their Instagram user info. Familiar ExpressionEngine tags make building Instagram photo streams into your templates easy.

You’re not stuck with a single user per site. If your site has multiple users, each user can authenticate their Instagram account for access.

The module uses built in caching to fall back to its last successful data set when there is an error. This can be turned off though, if you choose. It will generated error messages that help you deal with unexpected behavior. (See this example.)

You also have the ability to pull any photo stream by tag from all Instagram users. Instagram’s popular photos can also be brought in.

You can try Pic Puller Lite for free before you buy the full version. It only pulls in the popular feed, but it’s a great way to test your ExpressionEngine site compatibility with Pic Puller.
