$pass = ‘YourInstagramPassword’;
$msg = ‘Post this to Instagram! #testpost, #snap’;
$imgURL = ‘http://www.YourWebsiteURL.com/link/to/your/image.jpg’;
$imgFormat = ‘E’; // ‘E’ (Extended) or ‘C’ (Cropped) or ‘U’ (Untouched)
$nt = new nxsAPI_IG();
$loginError = $nt->connect($email, $pass);
if (!$loginError)
{
$result = $nt -> post($msg, $imgURL, $imgFormat);
}
else echo $loginError;
if (!empty($result) && is_array($result) && !empty($result[‘post_url’]))
echo ‘<a target=”_blank” href=”‘.$result[‘post_url’].'”>New Post</a>’;
else
echo “<pre>”.print_r($result, true).”</pre>”;
