In my previous blog<\/a> we learnt how to integrate Instagram login functionality in a Grails web app. Now we will see how to get Instagram user’s followers and media.<\/p>\n

Once a user is logged in via the Instagram login API, we get a JSON response containing the logged in user’s profile information in JSON Format. A sample JSON is as follows:<\/p>\n

[code]<br \/>
\nJSONObject userInfo = [<br \/>
\n user:[<br \/>
\n id:212545455,<br \/>
\n profile_picture:http:\/\/images.ak.instagram.com\/profiles\/profile_120652151_75sq_545454125.jpg,<br \/>
\n username:abcdefg45,<br \/>
\n bio:,<br \/>
\n website:,<br \/>
\n full_name:abcd xyz<br \/>
\n ],<br \/>
\n access_token:122545212145.ddjsjdaa.002jdjwsdjdjdjndf7458<br \/>
\n ]<\/p>
\n<p>String instagramUserId = userInfo.user.id<br \/>
\nString accessToken = userInfo.access_token<br \/>
\n[\/code]<\/p>\n

Now using this information, we can get the followers of the Instagram user as follows:<\/p>\n

[code]<br \/>
\nString instagramFollowersUrl = &quot;https:\/\/api.instagram.com\/v1\/users\/&quot; + instagramUserId + &quot;\/?access_token=&quot; + accessToken<br \/>
\nURL url = new URL(queryString)<br \/>
\nreturn url.text<br \/>
\n[\/code]<\/p>\n

Too get all recent media posted by an Instagram user, the API call made is as follows:<\/p>\n

[code]<\/p>
\n<p>String clientId = &quot;nbdnbd2372837283jfbjebf8384384&quot; \/\/your registered application’s client_id<br \/>
\nString userMediaUrl = &quot;https:\/\/api.instagram.com\/v1\/users\/&quot; + instagramUserId + &quot;\/media\/recent\/?client_id=&quot;+clientId<br \/>
\nURL url = new URL(queryString)<br \/>
\nreturn url.text<br \/>
\n[\/code]<\/p>\n
