如何在 iOS 中的 Instagram 上分享图片？

Question

My client wants to share an image on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook.

I have done Twitter and Facebook but did not find any API or any thing on internet to share image on Instagram. Is it possible to share image on Instagram? if yes then how?

When I check the developer site of Instagram I have found the Libraries of Ruby on Rails and Python. But there are no documentation of iOS Sdk

I have get token from instagram as per instagram.com/developer but now don't know what to do next step for sharing with instagram image.

Answer 1

Finally I got the answer. you can not directly post an image on instagram. You have to rediredt your image with UIDocumentInteractionController.

@property (nonatomic, retain) UIDocumentInteractionController *dic;    

CGRect rect = CGRectMake(0 ,0 , 0, 0);
UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(self.view.bounds.size, self.view.opaque, 0.0);
[self.view.layer renderInContext:UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext()];
UIGraphicsEndImageContext();
NSString  *jpgPath = [NSHomeDirectory() stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"Documents/test.igo"];

NSURL *igImageHookFile = [[NSURL alloc] initWithString:[[NSString alloc] initWithFormat:@"file://%@", jpgPath]];
self.dic.UTI = @"com.instagram.photo";
self.dic = [self setupControllerWithURL:igImageHookFile usingDelegate:self];
self.dic=[UIDocumentInteractionController interactionControllerWithURL:igImageHookFile];
[self.dic presentOpenInMenuFromRect: rect    inView: self.view animated: YES ];


- (UIDocumentInteractionController *) setupControllerWithURL: (NSURL*) fileURL usingDelegate: (id <UIDocumentInteractionControllerDelegate>) interactionDelegate {
     UIDocumentInteractionController *interactionController = [UIDocumentInteractionController interactionControllerWithURL: fileURL];
     interactionController.delegate = interactionDelegate;
     return interactionController;
}

NOTE: once you redirect to instagram app you can not back to your app. you have to open your app again

Here is a full tested code to Upload image + caption text to Instagram..

in.h file

//Instagram
@property (nonatomic, retain) UIDocumentInteractionController *documentController;

-(void)instaGramWallPost
{
            NSURL *instagramURL = [NSURL URLWithString:@"instagram://app"];
            if([[UIApplication sharedApplication] canOpenURL:instagramURL]) //check for App is install or not
            {
                NSData *imageData = UIImagePNGRepresentation(imge); //convert image into .png format.
                NSFileManager *fileManager = [NSFileManager defaultManager];//create instance of NSFileManager
                NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES); //create an array and store result of our search for the documents directory in it
                NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0]; //create NSString object, that holds our exact path to the documents directory
                NSString *fullPath = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"insta.igo"]]; //add our image to the path
                [fileManager createFileAtPath:fullPath contents:imageData attributes:nil]; //finally save the path (image)
                NSLog(@"image saved");

                CGRect rect = CGRectMake(0 ,0 , 0, 0);
                UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(self.view.bounds.size, self.view.opaque, 0.0);
                [self.view.layer renderInContext:UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext()];
                UIGraphicsEndImageContext();
                NSString *fileNameToSave = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"Documents/insta.igo"];
                NSString  *jpgPath = [NSHomeDirectory() stringByAppendingPathComponent:fileNameToSave];
                NSLog(@"jpg path %@",jpgPath);
                NSString *newJpgPath = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"file://%@",jpgPath];
                NSLog(@"with File path %@",newJpgPath);
                NSURL *igImageHookFile = [[NSURL alloc]initFileURLWithPath:newJpgPath];
                NSLog(@"url Path %@",igImageHookFile);

                self.documentController.UTI = @"com.instagram.exclusivegram";
                self.documentController = [self setupControllerWithURL:igImageHookFile usingDelegate:self];
                self.documentController=[UIDocumentInteractionController interactionControllerWithURL:igImageHookFile];
                NSString *caption = @"#Your Text"; //settext as Default Caption
                self.documentController.annotation=[NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@",caption],@"InstagramCaption", nil];
                [self.documentController presentOpenInMenuFromRect:rect inView: self.view animated:YES];
            }
            else
            {
                 NSLog (@"Instagram not found");
            }
}

- (UIDocumentInteractionController *) setupControllerWithURL: (NSURL*) fileURL usingDelegate: (id <UIDocumentInteractionControllerDelegate>) interactionDelegate {
    NSLog(@"file url %@",fileURL);
    UIDocumentInteractionController *interactionController = [UIDocumentInteractionController interactionControllerWithURL: fileURL];
    interactionController.delegate = interactionDelegate;

    return interactionController;
}

OR

-(void)instaGramWallPost
{
    NSURL *myURL = [NSURL URLWithString:@"Your image url"];
    NSData * imageData = [[NSData alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:myURL];
    UIImage *imgShare = [[UIImage alloc] initWithData:imageData];

    NSURL *instagramURL = [NSURL URLWithString:@"instagram://app"];

    if([[UIApplication sharedApplication] canOpenURL:instagramURL]) //check for App is install or not
    {
        UIImage *imageToUse = imgShare;
        NSString *documentDirectory=[NSHomeDirectory() stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"Documents"];
        NSString *saveImagePath=[documentDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"Image.igo"];
        NSData *imageData=UIImagePNGRepresentation(imageToUse);
        [imageData writeToFile:saveImagePath atomically:YES];
        NSURL *imageURL=[NSURL fileURLWithPath:saveImagePath];
        self.documentController=[[UIDocumentInteractionController alloc]init];
        self.documentController = [UIDocumentInteractionController interactionControllerWithURL:imageURL];
        self.documentController.delegate = self;
        self.documentController.annotation = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"Testing"], @"InstagramCaption", nil];
        self.documentController.UTI = @"com.instagram.exclusivegram";
        UIViewController *vc = [UIApplication sharedApplication].keyWindow.rootViewController;
        [self.documentController presentOpenInMenuFromRect:CGRectMake(1, 1, 1, 1) inView:vc.view animated:YES];
    }
    else {
        DisplayAlertWithTitle(@"Instagram not found", @"")
    }
}

and Write this to.plist

<key>LSApplicationQueriesSchemes</key>
    <array>
        <string>instagram</string>
    </array>

Answer 3

You can use one of the provided by Instagram url scheme

1. Instagramoficial doc here

2. Share with UIDocumentInteractionController

    final class InstagramPublisher: NSObject { private var documentsController:UIDocumentInteractionController = UIDocumentInteractionController() func postImage(image: UIImage, view: UIView, result:((Bool)->Void)? = nil) { guard let instagramURL = NSURL(string: "instagram://app") else { if let result = result { result(false) } return } if UIApplication.sharedApplication().canOpenURL(instagramURL) { let jpgPath = (NSTemporaryDirectory() as NSString).stringByAppendingPathComponent("instagrammFotoToShareName.igo") if let image = UIImageJPEGRepresentation(image, 1.0) { image.writeToFile(jpgPath, atomically: true) let fileURL = NSURL.fileURLWithPath(jpgPath) documentsController.URL = fileURL documentsController.UTI = "com.instagram.exclusivegram" documentsController.presentOpenInMenuFromRect(view.bounds, inView: view, animated: true) if let result = result { result(true) } } else if let result = result { result(false) } } else { if let result = result { result(false) } } } }

3. Share with direct redirect

    import Photos final class InstagramPublisher: NSObject { func postImage(image: UIImage, result:((Bool)->Void)? = nil) { guard let instagramURL = NSURL(string: "instagram://app") else { if let result = result { result(false) } return } let image = image.scaleImageWithAspectToWidth(640) do { try PHPhotoLibrary.sharedPhotoLibrary().performChangesAndWait { let request = PHAssetChangeRequest.creationRequestForAssetFromImage(image) let assetID = request.placeholderForCreatedAsset?.localIdentifier?? "" let shareURL = "instagram://library?LocalIdentifier=" + assetID if UIApplication.sharedApplication().canOpenURL(instagramURL) { if let urlForRedirect = NSURL(string: shareURL) { UIApplication.sharedApplication().openURL(urlForRedirect) } } } } catch { if let result = result { result(false) } } } }

4. extension for resize photo to recommended size

    import UIKit extension UIImage { // MARK: - UIImage+Resize func scaleImageWithAspectToWidth(toWidth:CGFloat) -> UIImage { let oldWidth:CGFloat = size.width let scaleFactor:CGFloat = toWidth / oldWidth let newHeight = self.size.height * scaleFactor let newWidth = oldWidth * scaleFactor; UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(CGSizeMake(newWidth, newHeight)) drawInRect(CGRectMake(0, 0, newWidth, newHeight)) let newImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext() UIGraphicsEndImageContext() return newImage } }

5. Don't forget to add required scheme in plist

 <key>LSApplicationQueriesSchemes</key> <array> <string>instagram</string> </array>

Answer 4

Hope this answer will resolve your query. This will directly opens library folder in Instagram instead of Camera.

NSURL *instagramURL = [NSURL URLWithString:@"instagram://app"];
if ([[UIApplication sharedApplication] canOpenURL:instagramURL])
{
    NSURL *videoFilePath = [NSURL URLWithString:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@",[request downloadDestinationPath]]]; // Your local path to the video
    NSString *caption = @"Some Preloaded Caption";
    ALAssetsLibrary *library = [[ALAssetsLibrary alloc] init];
    [library writeVideoAtPathToSavedPhotosAlbum:videoFilePath completionBlock:^(NSURL *assetURL, NSError *error) {
        NSString *escapedString   = [self urlencodedString:videoFilePath.absoluteString];
        NSString *escapedCaption  = [self urlencodedString:caption];
        NSURL *instagramURL = [NSURL URLWithString:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"instagram://library?AssetPath=%@&InstagramCaption=%@",escapedString,escapedCaption]];
        if ([[UIApplication sharedApplication] canOpenURL:instagramURL]) {
            [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:instagramURL];
        }
    }];

Answer 5

if you don't want to use UIDocumentInteractionController

import Photos

...

func postImageToInstagram(image: UIImage) {
        UIImageWriteToSavedPhotosAlbum(image, self, #selector(SocialShare.image(_:didFinishSavingWithError:contextInfo:)), nil)
    }
    func image(image: UIImage, didFinishSavingWithError error: NSError?, contextInfo:UnsafePointer<Void>) {
        if error != nil {
            print(error)
        }

        let fetchOptions = PHFetchOptions()
        fetchOptions.sortDescriptors = [NSSortDescriptor(key: "creationDate", ascending: false)]
        let fetchResult = PHAsset.fetchAssetsWithMediaType(.Image, options: fetchOptions)
        if let lastAsset = fetchResult.firstObject as? PHAsset {
            let localIdentifier = lastAsset.localIdentifier
            let u = "instagram://library?LocalIdentifier=" + localIdentifier
            let url = NSURL(string: u)!
            if UIApplication.sharedApplication().canOpenURL(url) {
                UIApplication.sharedApplication().openURL(NSURL(string: u)!)
            } else {
                let alertController = UIAlertController(title: "Error", message: "Instagram is not installed", preferredStyle: .Alert)
                alertController.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "OK", style: .Default, handler: nil))
                self.presentViewController(alertController, animated: true, completion: nil)
            }

        }
    }

Answer 6

For iOS 6 and above, you can use this UIActivity to upload images to Instagram which has the same workflow using iOS hooks but simplifies development:

Answer 7

this is correct answer which i implement with detail. In.h file

 UIImageView *imageMain;
 @property (nonatomic, strong) UIDocumentInteractionController *documentController;

in.m file only write

 NSURL *instagramURL = [NSURL URLWithString:@"instagram://app"];
 if([[UIApplication sharedApplication] canOpenURL:instagramURL])
 {
      CGFloat cropVal = (imageMain.image.size.height > imageMain.image.size.width ? imageMain.image.size.width : imageMain.image.size.height);

      cropVal *= [imageMain.image scale];

      CGRect cropRect = (CGRect){.size.height = cropVal, .size.width = cropVal};
      CGImageRef imageRef = CGImageCreateWithImageInRect([imageMain.image CGImage], cropRect);

      NSData *imageData = UIImageJPEGRepresentation([UIImage imageWithCGImage:imageRef], 1.0);
      CGImageRelease(imageRef);

      NSString *writePath = [NSTemporaryDirectory() stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"instagram.igo"];
      if (![imageData writeToFile:writePath atomically:YES]) {
      // failure
           NSLog(@"image save failed to path %@", writePath);
           return;
      } else {
      // success.
      }

      // send it to instagram.
      NSURL *fileURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:writePath];
      self.documentController = [UIDocumentInteractionController interactionControllerWithURL:fileURL];
      self.documentController.delegate = self;
      [self.documentController setUTI:@"com.instagram.exclusivegram"];
      [self.documentController setAnnotation:@{@"InstagramCaption" : @"We are making fun"}];
      [self.documentController presentOpenInMenuFromRect:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 480) inView:self.view animated:YES];
 }
 else
 {
      NSLog (@"Instagram not found");

 }

For sure you will get result. Eg you will see popover from bottom with instagram image.Click on it and have fun.

Answer 8

I tried this in my application and it is working perfectly (Swift)

import Foundation

import UIKit

class InstagramManager: NSObject, UIDocumentInteractionControllerDelegate {

    private let kInstagramURL = "instagram://"
    private let kUTI = "com.instagram.exclusivegram"
    private let kfileNameExtension = "instagram.igo"
    private let kAlertViewTitle = "Error"
    private let kAlertViewMessage = "Please install the Instagram application"

    var documentInteractionController = UIDocumentInteractionController()

    // singleton manager
    class var sharedManager: InstagramManager {
        struct Singleton {
            static let instance = InstagramManager()
        }
        return Singleton.instance
    }

    func postImageToInstagramWithCaption(imageInstagram: UIImage, instagramCaption: String, view: UIView) {
        // called to post image with caption to the instagram application

        let instagramURL = NSURL(string: kInstagramURL)
        if UIApplication.sharedApplication().canOpenURL(instagramURL!) {
            let jpgPath = (NSTemporaryDirectory() as NSString).stringByAppendingPathComponent(kfileNameExtension)
            UIImageJPEGRepresentation(imageInstagram, 1.0)!.writeToFile(jpgPath, atomically: true)
            let rect = CGRectMake(0,0,612,612)
            let fileURL = NSURL.fileURLWithPath(jpgPath)
            documentInteractionController.URL = fileURL
            documentInteractionController.delegate = self
            documentInteractionController.UTI = kUTI

            // adding caption for the image
            documentInteractionController.annotation = ["InstagramCaption": instagramCaption]
            documentInteractionController.presentOpenInMenuFromRect(rect, inView: view, animated: true)
        }
        else {

            // alert displayed when the instagram application is not available in the device
            UIAlertView(title: kAlertViewTitle, message: kAlertViewMessage, delegate:nil, cancelButtonTitle:"Ok").show()
        }
    }
}


 func sendToInstagram(){

     let image = postImage

             InstagramManager.sharedManager.postImageToInstagramWithCaption(image!, instagramCaption: "\(description)", view: self.view)

 }

Answer 9

Here is the correct answer. you cannot directly post an image on Instagram. You need to redirect to Instagram using UIDocumentInteractionController...

NSString* imagePath = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@/instagramShare.igo", [NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES) lastObject]];
[[NSFileManager defaultManager] removeItemAtPath:imagePath error:nil];
    
UIImage *instagramImage = [UIImage imageNamed:@"imagename you want to share"];
[UIImagePNGRepresentation(instagramImage) writeToFile:imagePath atomically:YES];
NSLog(@"Image Size >>> %@", NSStringFromCGSize(instagramImage.size));
    
self.dic=[UIDocumentInteractionController interactionControllerWithURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:imagePath]];
self.dic.delegate = self;
self.dic.UTI = @"com.instagram.exclusivegram";
[self.dic presentOpenInMenuFromRect: self.view.frame inView:self.view animated:YES ];

NOTE: once you redirect to instagram app you can not back to your app. you have to open your app again

Answer 10

You can do that without using the UIDocumentInteractionController and go straight to Instagram with these 3 methods:

It works just like all the other famous app does. The code is written in Objective c, so you can translate it to swift if you want. What you need to do is saving your image to the device and use a URLScheme

add this inside your.m file

#import <Photos/Photos.h>

First you need to save your UIImage to the device with this method:

-(void)savePostsPhotoBeforeSharing
{
    UIImageWriteToSavedPhotosAlbum([UIImage imageNamed:@"image_file_name.jpg"], self, @selector(image:didFinishSavingWithError:contextInfo:), NULL);
}

This method is the callback for saving the image to your device:

- (void)image:(UIImage *)image didFinishSavingWithError:(NSError *)error contextInfo: (void *) contextInfo;
{
    [self sharePostOnInstagram];

}

After the image is saved to the device, you need to query the image you just saved and get it as a PHAsset

-(void)sharePostOnInstagram
{
    PHFetchOptions *fetchOptions = [PHFetchOptions new];
    fetchOptions.sortDescriptors = @[[NSSortDescriptor sortDescriptorWithKey:@"creationDate" ascending:NO],];
    __block PHAsset *assetToShare;
    PHFetchResult *result = [PHAsset fetchAssetsWithMediaType:PHAssetMediaTypeImage options:fetchOptions];
    [result enumerateObjectsUsingBlock:^(PHAsset *asset, NSUInteger idx, BOOL *stop) {
        assetToShare = asset;


    }];


    if([assetToShare isKindOfClass:[PHAsset class]])
    {
        NSString *localIdentifier = assetToShare.localIdentifier;
        NSString *urlString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"instagram://library?LocalIdentifier=%@",localIdentifier];
        NSURL *instagramURL = [NSURL URLWithString:urlString];
        if ([[UIApplication sharedApplication] canOpenURL: instagramURL])
        {
            [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL: instagramURL];
        } else
        {
            // can not share with whats app
            NSLog(@"No instagram installed");
        }

    }
}

And dont forget to put this in your info.plist under LSApplicationQueriesSchemes

<string>instagram</string>

Answer 11

- (void) shareImageWithInstagram
{
    NSURL *instagramURL = [NSURL URLWithString:@"instagram://"];
    if ([[UIApplication sharedApplication] canOpenURL:instagramURL])
    {
        UICachedFileMgr* mgr = _gCachedManger;
        UIImage* photoImage = [mgr imageWithUrl:_imageView.image];
        NSData* imageData = UIImagePNGRepresentation(photoImage);
        NSString* captionString = [NSString  stringWithFormat:@"ANY_TAG",];
        NSString* imagePath = [UIUtils documentDirectoryWithSubpath:@"image.igo"];
        [imageData writeToFile:imagePath atomically:NO];
        NSURL* fileURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"file://%@",imagePath]];

        self.docFile = [[self setupControllerWithURL:fileURL usingDelegate:self]retain];
        self.docFile.annotation = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObject: captionString
                                                     forKey:@"InstagramCaption"];
        self.docFile.UTI = @"com.instagram.photo";

        // OPEN THE HOOK
        [self.docFile presentOpenInMenuFromRect:self.view.frame inView:self.view animated:YES];
    }
    else
    {
        [UIUtils messageAlert:@"Instagram not installed in this device!\nTo share image please install instagram." title:nil delegate:nil];
    }
}

I tried this in my application and it will definitely work

Answer 12

As for me, the best and the easiest way described here Share photo to Instagram from my iOS App

You need to save image on device using.igo format, then use "UIDocumentInteractionController" to send local path Instagram app. Don't forget to set "UIDocumentInteractionControllerDelegate"

My advice is to add something like:

NSURL *instagramURL = [NSURL URLWithString:@"instagram://app"];
if ([[UIApplication sharedApplication] canOpenURL:instagramURL]) 
{
 <your code>
}

Answer 13

NSURL *instagramURL = [NSURL URLWithString:@"instagram://app"];

if ([[UIApplication sharedApplication] canOpenURL:instagramURL])
{

    NSString  *jpgPath = [NSHomeDirectory() stringByAppendingPathComponent:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"Documents/Insta_Images/%@",@"shareImage.png"]];


    NSURL *igImageHookFile = [[NSURL alloc] initWithString:[[NSString alloc] initWithFormat:@"file://%@", jpgPath]];


    docController.UTI = @"com.instagram.photo";

    docController = [self setupControllerWithURL:igImageHookFile usingDelegate:self];

    docController =[UIDocumentInteractionController interactionControllerWithURL:igImageHookFile];

    docController.delegate=self;

    [docController presentOpenInMenuFromRect:CGRectMake(0 ,0 , 612, 612) inView:self.view animated:YES];

Answer 14

I noticed if you put URL pointing to image to activityItems instead of UIImage , Copy to Instagram activity item appears itself, and you don't have to do anything else. Please note that String objects inside activityItems would be discarded and there is no way to prefill caption in Instagram. If you still want to hint user to post particular caption, you'd need to create custom activity where you copy that text to clipboard and let user know about it, like in this gist .

I Used this code:

    NSString* filePathStr = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"UMS_social_demo" ofType:@"png"];
NSURL* fileUrl = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:filePathStr];

NSString  *jpgPath = [NSHomeDirectory() stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"Documents/test.igo"];
[[NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:fileUrl] writeToFile:jpgPath atomically:YES];

NSURL* documentURL = [NSURL URLWithString:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"file://%@", jpgPath]];

UIDocumentInteractionController *interactionController = [UIDocumentInteractionController interactionControllerWithURL: documentURL];
self.interactionController = interactionController;
interactionController.delegate = self;
interactionController.UTI = @"com.instagram.photo";
CGRect rect = CGRectMake(0 ,0 , 0, 0);
[interactionController presentOpenInMenuFromRect:rect inView:self.view animated:YES];

-(void)shareOnInstagram {

    CGRect rect = CGRectMake(self.view.frame.size.width*0.375 ,self.view.frame.size.height/2 , 0, 0);



    NSString * saveImagePath = [NSHomeDirectory() stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"Documents/ShareInstragramImage.igo"];

    [UIImagePNGRepresentation(_image) writeToFile:saveImagePath atomically:YES];

    NSURL *igImageHookFile = [[NSURL alloc] initWithString:[[NSString alloc] initWithFormat:@"file://%@", saveImagePath]];

    self.documentController=[UIDocumentInteractionController interactionControllerWithURL:igImageHookFile];

    self.documentController.UTI = @"com.instagram.exclusivegram";
    self.documentController = [self setupControllerWithURL:igImageHookFile usingDelegate:self];

    [self.documentController presentOpenInMenuFromRect: rect    inView: self.view animated: YES ];

}

-(UIDocumentInteractionController *) setupControllerWithURL: (NSURL*) fileURL usingDelegate: (id <UIDocumentInteractionControllerDelegate>) interactionDelegate {

    UIDocumentInteractionController *interactionController = [UIDocumentInteractionController interactionControllerWithURL: fileURL];
    interactionController.delegate = interactionDelegate;
    return interactionController;
}
