GoInsta. Make Goinsta Great Again!

Unofficial Instagram API for Golang

Versioning

Goinsta used gopkg.in as versioning control. Stable new API is the version v2.0. You can get it using:

go get -u -v gopkg.in/ahmdrz/goinsta.v2

Features

• HTTP2 by default. Goinsta uses HTTP2 client enhancing performance.
• Object independency. Can handle multiple instagram accounts.
• Like Instagram mobile application. Goinsta is very similar to Instagram official application.
• Simple. Goinsta is made by lazy programmers!
• Backup methods. You can use Export and Import functions.
• Security. Your password is only required to login. After login your password is deleted.
• No External Dependencies. Goinsta will not use any Go packages outside of the standard library.

New Version !

We are working on a new object-oriented API. Try it and tell us your suggestions. See https://github.com/ahmdrz/goinsta/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md

If you want to use the old version you can found it in v1 branch or using gopkg.in/ahmdrz/goinsta.v1/

Sorry for breaking dependences :(. You can use this command in your project folder to update old master branch to v1.

for i in `grep -r ahmdrz ./ | awk '{split($0, a, ":"); print a[1]}'`; do sed -i 's/github\.com\/ahmdrz\/goinsta/gopkg\.in\/ahmdrz\/goinsta\.v1/g' $i; done
