Once the user has authorized your application, you can interact with the Instagram API using Swiftygram. Below are some common actions:
Retrieving User Information
To retrieve information about the authenticated user, use the following code:
swiftygram.getUser { (user) in
// Handle user information
if let user = user {
// Access user properties (e.g., username, full name)
let username = user.username
let fullName = user.fullName
// ...
} else {
// Unable to fetch user information
}
}
Accessing Media
To retrieve media from the user’s Instagram account, use the following code:
swiftygram.getMedia { (media) in
// Handle media information
if let media = media {
// Access media properties (e.g., media type, caption)
for item in media {
let type = item.type
let caption = item.caption
// ...
}
} else {
// Unable to fetch media information
}
}
Posting Content
To post content to the user’s Instagram account, use the following code:
let image = UIImage(named: "my_image.jpg")
