instatags

A small script to display the ASCII art of images fetched from a tag on Instagram.

NOTICE

Instagram's "sandbox mode" has broken this application. Instagram now requires a full OAuth login flow as well as application review and I highly doubt they'll accept this. Oh well, it was good while it lasted.

setup

Make sure you have Ruby 2.3.1 installed before doing the following!

git clone https://github.com/andrewjkerr/instatags.git && cd instatags
bundle install
mv config/application.yml.sample config/application.yml
Put your Instagram client ID into the config/application.yml

I recommend running in a terminal that supports colors for more fun!

usage

ruby fetch_imgs.rb [tag] [number_of_images]

example

# ruby fetch_imgs.rb corgi 2
