Day 20: Instagram Support for XRay #100DaysOfIndieWeb

XRay is my service that parses web pages and extracts information from them. Right now I mostly use it to parse comments, but now that I've been adding support for reposts, it's used there as well.Today I added support for XRay to extract data from Instagram URLs!This means anything that uses XRay will now return structured data when given an Instagram URL, just like how it parses h-entry and other Microformats. Unfortunately, Instagram does not provide timezone data for the published date, only a Unix timestamp. So if the photo is tagged at a location, then XRay will look up the appropriate timezone for that location and adjust the timezone of the published date accordingly!Here's what the parsed JSON looks like for this photo. Note that the timezone is set to East Coast because this photo was taken at MIT.{ "data":{ "type":"entry", "url":"https://www.instagram.com/p/BM4rGs-lApG/", "author":{ "type":"card", "name":"Aaron Parecki", "url":"http://aaronparecki.com/", "photo":"https://scontent.cdninstagram.com/t51.2885-19/s320x320/14240576_268350536897085_1129715662_a.jpg" }, "content":{ "text":"Here again" }, "photo":[ "https://scontent.cdninstagram.com/t51.2885-15/e35/14269001_1162908790471145_6084871298582839296_n.jpg?ig_cache_key=MTM4NTA0NjQ2MjAyNzc5NTAxNA%3D%3D.2" ], "location":[ "https://www.instagram.com/explore/locations/206258876/" ], "published":"2016-11-16T16:07:06-05:00" }, "refs":{ "https://www.instagram.com/explore/locations/206258876/":{ "type":"card", "name":"Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)", "url":"https://www.instagram.com/explore/locations/206258876/", "latitude":42.360011410484, "longitude":-71.091869836761 } }}In addition to my website using this for reposts and comments, when I paste that URL into IRC, Loqi uses XRay to expand it and provide a little text preview.

@oplife Yeah, saw #indieauth earlier; afaik they shut down #openid support. Really need openid for existing sites =(

@joelpurra @oplife indieauth.com should still be running an OpenID provider. I just used it to sign in to StackOverflow yesterday!

oh man, awesome!

comparing to https://granary-demo.appspot.com/instagram/-/@self/@app/BM4rGs-lApG?format=json-mf2, looks like they match up pretty well.

one interesting difference: did you do an extra profile URL fetch to get http://aaronparecki.com/? it’s not in https://www.instagram.com/p/BM4rGs-lApG/ anywhere.

otherwise, next step, comments and likes? :P

@snarfed.org Yeah, I do an extra lookup to get full profile info as well as the lat/lng of venues. This is basically the same code that's in OwnYourGram. Comments and likes? mayyyyyybe.

Will consider #indieauth, but negatively angled "why not #openid" info had (has) me thinking otherwise https://indieweb.org/OpenID

@joelpurra Well I would never suggest anyone use OpenID 1 for anything new, but I can see how that's confusing. Will see if I can rephrase.

@joelpurra There also seem to be almost no OpenID providers left except indieauth.com, since myopenid shut down.

Almost none, but still some; might selfhost =) Like the distributed concept, would like to see more usage! https://lwn.net/Articles/708151/

@joelpurra I like the concept too! My goal with #indieauth is to use domains as identities (like OpenID) but using OAuth 2.0 techniques.

@joelpurra The OpenID team has deprecated OpenID 1 and is now pursuing OpenID Connect which is actually built on OAuth 2.0 as well.

Day 20 - Vieux Carré

Day 20. This was the first time I started and finished a song in a bar! I wrote this between my dentist appointment and seeing a movie downtown. The Vieux Carré is a $5 on-tap cocktail at Imperial in Downtown Portland. I will admit it was a bit of a challenge working on this with other music playing in the bar, but my noise cancelling headphones helped a lot.
