Instagram RSS Feed

  • Help Request

Hi! I've set up the RSS app for my community to draw from my Instagram, using https://websta.me/rss/n/kacealexander

However, it doesn't seem to draw my Instagram posts to Imzy. Am I doing something wrong?

Or is there a different way to create an instagram feed for RSS?

Thanks in advance for your help!

    You can automatically make posts using RSS!? *heads off to try it out*

    • greenieOct 20, 2016 at 4:19 PM

      As a community leader, yep! Though I recommend not having one that posts like, every 5 minutes. That would probably just drive folks away. But it is a good tool when used well!

        yeah best not RSS the BBC news page (did that once in Google reader, do not recommend!)

      • greenieOct 20, 2016 at 4:22 PM

        haha, yep :)

    WHAT 😄 I can get my IG linked to my Izmy, Seriously??? Oh PLEASE!!! Because right now I'm just doing the copy/paste of my post in IG, running over here, and then loading the Same photo and pasting the info 🙄. (So wish I could multi post to here like I do to Tumblr & Flickr from IG)

  • greenieOct 20, 2016 at 4:02 PM

    It takes roughly an hour for the RSS to start pulling, and it won't pull past content. Are either of those things possibly why it doesn't seem to be working?

    • kacealexanderOct 20, 2016 at 4:03 PM

      Afraid not. I set it up yesterday around midday, and have snapped at least 3 photos since then (It was a slow day, haha.)

        So, I don't know how instagram works, but it looks like you need to have an account to see the actual posts? Which means our RSS wouldn't be able to grab that, I suspect. I'd have to run this past an engineer though, because I'm really just speculating.

      • kacealexanderOct 20, 2016 at 4:09 PM

        So, I do know other places seem to draw from Instagram okay, displaying them in widgets or feeding to Twitter or FB or whatever. So it's possible! But maybe needs something in particular.

        Thanks for checking, greenie!

        Yeah since this isn't just like, the actual links (which is what our side wants), I think that's why it isn't working.

      • kacealexanderOct 20, 2016 at 4:11 PM

        Instagram, noooooo...!

      • KevinHearneOct 20, 2016 at 4:57 PM

        Andrea Phillips is posting links to her Instagram pics somehow and it draws in the picture that way.

      • andrhiaOct 20, 2016 at 5:00 PM

        I'm just doing it by hand, posting the individual links one by one :)

      • kacealexanderOct 20, 2016 at 5:00 PM

        TEASES.

      • naepalmOct 20, 2016 at 5:04 PM

        I could probably help you make something, K. I've had some experience developing with Instagram lately...
