Repository scope

GitHub describes it as A simple Instagram JavaScript plugin for your website. The repository metadata lists JavaScript as its primary language. The metadata lists the MIT license. The README describes the project this way: When I originally wrote Instafeed.js in 2012, I wanted to create an easy way to quickly add your Instagram photos to your website. I like to think I was able to do that, in large part thanks to the public API Instagram had at the time.

Hosted Alternative

The README section "Hosted Alternative" states: Unfortunately, Facebook has made this process a lot more complex than it used to be. The largest problem is that managing API tokens now requires a server-side component, which I can’t provide through Instafeed.js alone.

Hosted Alternative

The README section "Hosted Alternative" states: If you're looking for a turnkey solution that manages tokens for you, or you need more advanced features like hashtag feeds, I recommend looking at Behold. It's a paid service, but it has a free tier that will work for smaller projects.
