Get details about a given Instagram post based on its ig_media_id

cc_get_instagram_media.Rd

It retrieves the requested fields from the APIs and introduces a few adjustments:

Usage

cc_get_instagram_media(
  ig_media_id = NULL,
  fields = cc_valid_fields_instagram_media_v,
  api_version = "v22.0",
  ig_user_id = NULL,
  update = TRUE,
  cache = TRUE,
  fb_user_token = NULL
)

Arguments

ig_media_id

Instagram media identifier. A list of identifiers for your account can be retrieved with `cc_get_instagram_media_id()`. If left to NULL, a full list is automatically retrieved.

api_version

Defaults to "v21.0".

ig_user_id

Instagram user id, typically composed of 17 digits. Not to be confused with legacy Instagram account id.

fb_user_token

Facebook user token (not a page token).

Details

- it always include the media id, in a column named `ig_media_id` - if the field `owner` is included, it outputs the result as a character vector (if more than one owner, separated by ;) - it adds a `timestamp_retrieved` column, with ISO 8601-formatted creation date in UTC - it ensures that the output always included all requested fields, if they are valid; e.g. `is_shared_to_feed` and `media_url` may be omitted by the API (see documentation) but this function always includes the relevant column (and returns a NA value if no value is given) - all valid fields for the given API endpoint are always requested and cached locally; only requested fields are effectively returned (but `ig_media_id` and `timestamp_retrieved` are always included as first and last column)
