First of all we need to talk about the real purpose of this module. Let's share our ideas and discuss about it.
Purpose of Instagram module
First of all we need to talk about the real purpose of this module. Let's share our ideas and discuss about it.
Comments
Store each info like a node
I'm think about to collect and store all data about a given user on database: Pictures, Followers, Following, Comments, Etc.
I suggest creation of a new Content Type(or Entities for D7?) and save each picture like a node. The same thing with Followers, Following, Comments, Etc.
This could be useful for Views integration and other modules.

My needs
Well - I initially stumbled upon this module when I was searching for a solution to import two Instagram feeds into a website I want to build. My intent is that two users on a drupal site could attach instagram accounts and import the feeds and then use views to arrange the pictures. That is the only functionality I have thought through up until now.
Oh, I posted without reading
Oh, I posted without reading your post. I think that's a smashing idea - importing all of a user's data and then just using Views to parse the data according to needs.
Are your plans to create this
Are your plans to create this module for Drupal 6 and 7? I do most of my work in 7, so if it's not too difficult, I could learn how to port the module to 7.
I think Drupal 7 is the best
I think Drupal 7 is the best choice. If anyone ask about D6 version we could think about it.

Great - so you said that we are waiting on approval from Instagram correct?
Correct. I send an email
Correct. I send an email asking about to use the name "instagram" like module name. Think about, hum? http://drupal.org/project/instagram ^^

Okay, I think someone else mentioned this, but their conditions state that "You cannot use the Instagram name in your application." But, it doesn't hurt to ask!
How get the feed?
The only way i found is this: http://www.barattalo.it/2011/08/18/how-to-use-instagr-am-photos

API
Well, there's an API http://instagr.am/developer/
Although this would likely require each user of the module to register their application with Instagram. I don't think we can include a generic API key because it would probably get flagged for abuse.
Well, there's an API
Exactly. I think this is the only way.

agreed.

In my case, that wouldn't be a bother. I'll only have two users on the site using the module.
Is this different than other modules such as Flickr as far as importing photos?

I sooo need this.. I co-manage an Instagram group and would love to make our website very dynamic and filled with photos.. Wish I was a coder enough to dive in and create something..
Meanwhile, in WP, they already have many options. :(
Hi all, I was doing some
Hi all, I was doing some searching and came across the sandbox and this group. I just started using Instagram and love it, basically hooked. I am a front end dev / themer so would love to help with any testing. (I can't really code modules but know how to apply patches and all that.)
I think the idea of Views to parse data would be nice. I noticed there's a bunch of Wordpress plugins for Instagram, I may test some of those simply to help answer some of the questions noted here like API, connection, etc...

Awesome
The Wordpress plugins will be helpful to figure out solutions for common problems!

I use ifttt.com (if this then that) to cross-post Instagram posts to Facebook. They show up as individual FB posts and are aggregated in an Instagram gallery. In the 'recipes' for ifttt there's an option for Wordpress which may very well be facilitated by a module.

We would provide a tab where the user can connect his account with instagram like the twitter module. It depends on the oauth module. Is anybody of you developing an instragram module?
Drupal 6
I have a client with an active website and an active Instagram account.
I'm running D6.
I'd want to
(a) access our IG account from the module.
(b) retrieve most recent shot posted and display on a block
(c) retrieve a list of top 5 Most Liked IG photos from our account and display in a block.
I'm not about to port the whole site to D7 anytime soon, so I'd really appreciate a D6/D7 version. I think there are enough folks like me still running on an established D6 site to make the legacy support of D6 worth the effort.
Thanks in advance.

There is now a module (it's actually been out for a while and works great).
