Post an image on instagram using Oauth2 – PHP – Facebook api

All I want to post an image on the instagram using Oauth2 & PHP pretty similar like wall post for Facebook and Tweet post for Twitter like:

User click on share on Instagram button from my website, they redirect to the Instagram app approval page, they approve and the image gets posted on their account.

I have searched almost entire internet for this requirement. But I didn’t get exact code to achieve this.

I have already checked these:

https://github.com/mgp25/Instagram-API

https://github.com/cosenary/Instagram-PHP-API

Some people says that it is not possible, Instagram doesn’t allow that.

So all I want is a clear answer whether is it possible or not? If yes then how?

Thanks

    Clear answer

    It’s not possible and not official in any way. All the Unofficial APIs / packages / libraries… whaterver you might find are barely tentatives of reverse engineering of the traffic generated by the Instagram App.

    So they might work for a while, but then Instagram will block them.

    Think about it. If there’s somewhere an official way to upload stuff to instagram there will be a lot of alternative apps and spammers using it.

    If you don’t believe me, check the official API documentation. There’s no reference to the upload of pictures.
