Instagram API to display recent photos in WordPress

modification-via-stackoverflow.text

// Modifications via StackOverflow

You are receiving the data in the right order, but then you are using the shuffle() function on the images array $a_images you created .

if you remove the shuffle($a_images); from your code it'll be just fine.

and replace $image[link], $image[url] and //  //  $image[caption] with $image['link'], $image['url'] and $image['caption']

sorry for bad english

Instagram API to Wordpress - Recent Photos Aren't Most Recent
wordpress instagram
I've got this working to pull recent Instagram posts into Wordpress, however the "recent" photos that are displayed aren't actually my most recent Instagram posts. When I refresh, the Instagram posts that are pulled in also change. I can only find a max/min time within the API docs. Is there any way to just get the last 3 Instagram posts made?

<?php
$json = file_get_contents('https://api.instagram.com/v1/users/user-id/media/recent/?access_token=key-number');
$a_json = json_decode($json, true);
foreach( $a_json['data'] as $key => $value) {
  $a_images[$value['id']]['link'] = $value['link'];
  $a_images[$value['id']]['url'] = $value['images']['standard_resolution']['url'];
  $a_images[$value['id']]['caption'] = $value['caption']['text'];
}
shuffle($a_images);

echo '<ul>';
$i = 0;
foreach($a_images as $image) {
  if ($i < 3) {
    echo '<li class="large-4 columns">
        <div class="front">
            <a href="'.$image[link].'" target="_blank">
                <img src="'.$image[url].'"/>
            </a>
        </div>

        <div class="back">
            <p>'.$image[caption].'</p>
        </div>
    </li>';
    $i++;
  }
}
echo '</ul>';
