<h1><a id="instagrambridge" href="#instagrambridge" class="Permalink" aria-hidden="true" title="Permalink">#</a>InstagramBridge</h1>
<p>To somehow bypass the <a href="https://github.com/RSS-Bridge/rss-bridge/issues/1891" class="Link--external" rel="noopener noreferrer">rate limiting issue</a>
it is suggested to deploy a private RSS-Bridge instance that uses a working Instagram account.</p>
<p><strong>NOTE</strong>: There exists alternative bridges (e.g. PicukiBridge and PicnobBridge) for viewing posts without a working account.</p>
<h2><a id="configuration" href="#configuration" class="Permalink" aria-hidden="true" title="Permalink">#</a>Configuration</h2>
<ol>
<li>Retreiving <code>session id</code> and <code>ds_user_id</code>.
The following steps describe how to get the <code>session id</code> and <code>ds user id</code> using a Chromium-based browser.</li>
</ol>
<ul>
<li>
<p>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.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Login to Instagram</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Open DevTools by pressing F12</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Open “Networks tab”</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>In the “Filter” field input “i.instagram.com”</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Click on “Fetch/XHR”</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Refresh web page</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Click on any item from the table of http requests</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>In the new frame open the “Headers” tab and scroll to “Request Headers”</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>There will be a cookie param will lots of <code>&lt;key&gt;=&lt;value&gt;;</code> text. You need the value of the “sessionid” and “ds_user_id” keys. Copy them.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<ol start="2">
<li>Configuring RSS-Bridge</li>
</ol>
<ul>
<li>In config.ini.php add following configuration:</li>
</ul>
<pre><code>[InstagramBridge]
session_id = %sessionid from step 1%
ds_user_id = %ds_user_id from step 1%
cache_timeout = %cache timeout in seconds%
</code></pre>
<p>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).</p>
