Features

This sample illustrates how to use Instagram Basic Display API to display instagram posts of specific profile. Ajax (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) is being used to authenticate with the Instagram API and retrieve the user's feed. It also uses swiper. The Swiper library is used to create a carousel effect for the Instagram feed, allowing users to swipe left or right to view the different posts.
