Support other platforms like Instagram
random images or top posts of a given hashtag? If the user feeds in a particular hashtag, I think that would be better.
I don't think instagram would be a good idea. It provides only square images, so the wallpaper will appear stretched.
btw i don't know if it's legal to download images from instagram. Can anyone research?
adding /media/ after any users' page gives the json of the user. Though this API isn't in the documentation or publically released by Insta. Searching for answers on quora, and i seems that as long as we are not re-uploading the photos we are safe from legal harrassment, i guess it's time we provide support :D
But, instagram has DRM content and would lead to copyright issues. They aren't meant to be downloaded bro.
@nkprince007 are you sure photos posted publically cannot be downloaded? can you point to sources?
@abhsag24 look at 7th term here, it also says that the users own the photos they post and would need some sort of licensing before we could use them.
What I'm more worried about is
We prohibit crawling, scraping, caching or otherwise accessing any content on the Service via automated means, including but not limited to, user profiles and photos (except as may be the result of standard search engine protocols or technologies used by a search engine with Instagram's express consent).
@nkprince007 do you think its worth using something like selenium something where we shift responsibility of the link provided from our self to the user?
@nkprince007 we can do this. We can register on instagram as an app, have users authenticate the application and use their access tokens to get content on behalf of the users. Later on we can even provide mechanism to like or share wallpapers they like.
