ABOUT

This plugin search after hashtagged images on twitter and/or Instagram.

The Twitter search can fetch images from the following networks in the twitter search result.

  • twitpic
  • instagram
  • yfrog

URL's are being curled and cached using the WordPress Transients API. All content is loaded asynchronously, to have minimal impact on your sites loading time. It also refresh the feed asynchronously after the set cache time in the settings page. Default 20 minuter.

The plugin, when enabled, exposes a template, shortcode, widget and a settings page.

New documentation page for version 5 is available here

Some notes

  • The Twitter API required a consumer key and secret that you need to get from https://dev.twitter.com Follow this guide if you don't know how to get one.
  • The Instagram API are using odd limits. If you set a limit of eg 20, you will never get 20 images back, it find 30 and then remove any that is private and give back all the images after that. A result can therefor be different on each request. I will be looking into a workaround for this in the future.
