Instagram sharing

[AytoMaximo]

Hi everyone,

I’ll make a desktop app for windows (its important!!) and I need a way to share images to instagram. Are there some plugins for desktop, not ios/android, sharing? Or, maybe, some scripts.

Take look at their documentation for developers. https://instagram.com/developer/
You can send POST or GET request to their service.

You can use HTTP Request to send POST or GET request to that service.

I’ve read instagram api doesn’t allow sharing. All examples also show images from instagram, not send.

Then you partly answered your own question, they do not allow it, end of story. But there is catch , you can do reverse engineering on API kind of workaround, but it can be pain to work it out. Check link’s below it might help you.

Sry, but all these articles about phones, not pc
The 1st one need phone’s instagram app, 2nd - is about using usb debug mode.

What about windows store? There was an off instagram app, wasnt it? Maybe we can use it somehow?

Sorry for intervening, I was wondering if you have solved somehow that issue? If I understood correctly, you wanted to upload photos on Instagram from your PC. So, I’m looking for such a solution as well and it seems like there is no other option than to upload the photos only using a phone. The problem is that I’m working on an Instagram page and I found some promotion service for Instagram on but I have to make posts every day and for me, it would be easier to work from the PC. If you have a suggestion for it, I’ll appreciate it.

Hi! Well, it was 5 years ago, so…
We were able to find the solution. It was some PHP script with such feature, so I just sent a WebRequest with a picture to that back-end stuff.

However Instagram environment has changed since that time, so I’m not sure it works now.

Does Windows have some sharing API? Or maybe you can use some NuGet package like this: https://github.com/ramtinak/InstagramApiSharp/

I’m not sure it is working, just some quick thoughts.
