Facebook added a new CORS policy, and you can't display the data directly.
You can now download media on your storage or server to serve it directly on your website. You can find an example here.
Example:
<?php
// include vendor & classes
// random picture from instagram
$url = 'https://scontent-cdt1-1.cdninstagram.com/v/t51.2885-19/s150x150/156309873_1632221153646196_1273891214497323498_n.jpg?tp=1&_nc_ht=scontent-cdt1-1.cdninstagram.com&_nc_ohc=vbxGNZrjPmUAX8CIDdC&edm=ABfd0MgBAAAA&ccb=7-4&oh=ae5811c07f0e73b945eb203cd58c2101&oe=60EDD1EE&_nc_sid=7bff83'
// define directory
$downloadDir = __DIR__ . '/../assets'; // change it
$fileName = MediaDownloadHelper::downloadMedia($url, $downloadDir);
// file was downloaded here : __DIR__ . '/../assets/v-t51.2885-19-s150x150-156309873_1632221153646196_1273891214497323498_n.jpg
Some people may have trouble to login with this library. It happens for "old" Instagram accounts or if you're using it on some shared hosting (not all, I don't know why...).
You can now automatically bypass the checkpoint challenge. (email verification with code). You can find an example here.
Tips: you should create a dummy instagram account using a dummy e-mailbox to use this feature.
*Saving session with cache driver is very important here. The Instagram session is valid for... 1 YEAR. So in theory, using a cache driver and one account will trigger only one real login to Instagram then reusing session for a long time.
Thanks to @ibnux and @eldark for help π
In version ^6.0, login is now mandatory, it will save cookies (session) to simulate "real" requests to Instagram.
They improve their bot detection and without real session data in the headers requests, your IP could be easily soft-ban by Instagram.
Then, you can't fetch a lot of data without login.
Tips: you just have to create or use a dummy account to use easily this package.
New in 6.0 Cache : This library implements PSR-6 for greatest interoperability.

If you want to use paginate on medias, just call getMoreMedias
method.
<?php
$api = new Api($cachePool);
$api->login($credentials->getLogin(), $credentials->getPassword());
$profile = $api->getProfile('twhiddleston');
print_r($profile->getMedias()); // 12 first medias
do {
$profile = $api->getMoreMedias($profile);
print_r($profile->getMedias()); // 12 more medias
// avoid 429 Rate limit from Instagram
sleep(1);
} while ($profile->hasMoreMedias());
<?php
use Instagram\Api;
use Symfony\Component\Cache\Adapter\FilesystemAdapter;
$cachePool = new FilesystemAdapter('Instagram', 0, __DIR__ . '/../cache');
$api = new Api($cachePool);
$api->login('username', 'password'); // mandatory
$profile = $api->getProfile('starwars'); // we need instagram username
sleep(1);
$feedStories = $api->getStories($profile->getId());
$stories = $feedStories->getStories();
print_r($stories);
