Instagram Hashtag Preview employs Puppeteer to automatically extract image URLs for specific Instagram hashtags. No authentication or developer app needed. With this tool you can easily show a preview of Instagram images for a specific hashtag on your website. This is very suitable for event websites, where you want to show images tagged with a specific hashtag.
Before running the instagram-hashtag-preview, ensure you have Docker installed on your machine. If Docker is not installed, you can download it from Docker's official site.
Use Docker Compose to start the application. Open a terminal and run the following command from the root directory of the project:
docker-compose up -dAccessing the Application: With the services running, you can now access the application using curl or any HTTP client. To retrieve image URLs for the Instagram hashtag #test, use the following curl command:
curl http://localhost:5101/photos/testThis will output the list of image URLs tagged with #test on Instagram.
To stop and remove all the running services, use the following Docker Compose command:
docker-compose down
