To integrate an Instagram feed into your Zola-based site, you’ll need to follow these steps:

1. Use an Instagram API or Third-Party Service

There are two main approaches to adding an Instagram feed to your site:

1\.	Instagram’s Graph API (official but requires creating an app, managing access tokens, etc.)
2\.	Third-Party Services (simpler but may come with limitations or branding)

Option 1: Using Instagram’s Graph API

To use the Instagram API:

1\.	Create a Facebook App:
•	Go to the Facebook for Developers website and create an app.
•	Get access to Instagram Basic Display or Instagram Graph API.
2\.	Get Access Tokens:
•	Follow the Instagram Graph API Guide to get an access token.
3\.	Fetch Instagram Feed:

Use curl or a HTTP library (e.g., using JavaScript’s fetch API) to request recent posts via Instagram’s API. For example: curl -X GET "https://graph.instagram.com/me/media?fields=id,caption,media\_url\&access\_token=YOUR\_ACCESS\_TOKEN"

Display the Feed in Zola:

Write a custom shortcode or macro in Zola that fetches the feed and displays it in your templates.

Example JavaScript Code for Fetching Instagram Feed: <script> fetch('https://graph.instagram.com/me/media?fields=id,media\_url,caption\&access\_token=YOUR\_ACCESS\_TOKEN') .then(response => response.json()) .then(data => { let output = ''; data.data.forEach(post => { output += `<div class="instagram-post"> <img src="${post.media_url}" alt="Instagram Image"> <p>${post.caption}</p> </div>`; }); document.getElementById('instagram-feed').innerHTML = output; }) .catch(err => console.log(err)); </script>

In your Zola template (index.html or any other page), you would have something like this to display the feed: <div id="instagram-feed"></div>

Option 2: Using a Third-Party Service

If you prefer a simpler approach, you can use third-party services that allow you to embed Instagram feeds:

1\.	Embed Instagram Feed Using Tools like SnapWidget or LightWidget
•	Services like SnapWidget or LightWidget allow you to create Instagram widgets with minimal effort.
•	Sign up for one of these services and customize the widget (size, layout, etc.).
•	After customization, you’ll get an embed code that you can place in your Zola template.

<div class="instagram-feed"> <iframe src="https://snapwidget.com/embed/xxxx" allowtransparency="true" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:100%; height:400px"></iframe> </div>

2. Add Instagram Feed to Your Zola Template

After choosing an approach, add the appropriate code to your Zola layout or page templates.

Example Template Usage:

If you’re using a third-party widget, add the widget code to your Zola template. For example, in your base.html or index.html:

<section class="section"> <div class="container"> <h2 class="title is-4">Our Instagram Feed</h2> <!-- Add Instagram Feed Embed Code --> <div class="instagram-feed"> <iframe src="https://snapwidget.com/embed/xxxx" allowtransparency="true" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:100%; height:400px"></iframe> </div> </div> </section>

Styling with Bulma:

You can apply Bulma classes to style the feed nicely. <section class="section"> <div class="container"> <h2 class="title is-4">Follow us on Instagram</h2> <div class="columns is-multiline"> <div class="column is-one-quarter"> <!-- Instagram post goes here --> </div> <!-- Repeat for other posts --> </div> </div> </section>
