This is an easy way to integrate a basic Instagram feed into a WordPress site.
First, register with Instagram's developer program, then register a client. Set the client ID they provide you in line 4.
Second, get your Instagram user ID by running this in your terminal:
curl -X GET https://api.instagram.com/v1/users/search\?q\=USERNAME\&client_id\=CLIENT_ID
Replace USERNAME
with the user whose ID you want, and replace CLIENT_ID
with the app client ID you got in step 1.
The ID should be the last entry in the returned JSON object's "data" array. Set that on line 5.
Third, output this stuff somehow. Here's what I did:
<?php
$feed = instagram_feed();
if ( $feed ) {
foreach ( $feed as $data ) {
echo '<a href="' . $data->link . '"><img src="' . $data->images->thumbnail->url . '"></a>';
}
}
With that, you're all set!
The code uses WordPress' transients API to cache results. By default, the transient will expire every hour. Change that to suit your needs.

This is great, gave me a good, fast starting point. One tiny issue, the transient expiry won't get set with this code because it is passing the time constant as a string -- HOURS_IN_SECONDS shouldn't have quotes around it. :) Had a big "duh" moment after trying to figure out why the timeout wasn't getting stored in my options table... Cheers & thanks!
