InstagramBridge
=================
To somehow bypass the `rate limiting issue <https://github.com/RSS-Bridge/rss-bridge/issues/1891>`_,
it is suggested to deploy a private RSS-Bridge instance that uses a working Instagram account.
Configuration
-------------
1. Retreiving session id.
The following steps describe how to get the session id using a Chromium-based browser.
- Create an Instagram account, that you will use for your RSS-Bridge instance.
It is NOT recommended to use your existing account that is used for common interaction with Instagram services.
- Login to Instagram
- Open DevTools by pressing F12
- Open "Networks tab"
- In the "Filter" field input "i.instagram.com"
- Click on "Fetch/XHR"
- Refresh web page
- Click on any item from the table of http requests
- In the new frame open the "Headers" tab and scroll to "Request Headers"
- There will be a cookie param will lots of ``<key>=<value>;`` text. You need the value of the "sessionid" key. Copy it.
2. Configuring RSS-Bridge
- In config.ini.php add following configuration:
.. code-block::
[InstagramBridge]
session_id = %sessionid from step 1%
cache_timeout = %cache timeout in seconds%
The bigger the cache_timeout value, the smaller the chance for RSS-Bridge to throw 429 errors.
Default cache_timeout is 3600 seconds (1 hour).
