Media entity provides a 'base' entity for a media element. This is a very basic entity which can reference to all kinds of media-objects (local files, YouTube videos, tweets, CDN-files, ...). This entity only provides a relation between Drupal (because it is an entity) and the resource. You can reference to this entity within any other Drupal entity.
This module provides Instagram integration for Media entity (i.e. media type provider plugin).
This module uses Instagrams oembed API to fetch the instagram html and all the metadata. You will need to:
- Create a Media bundle with the type provider "Instagram".
- On that bundle create a field for the Instagram url/source (this should be a plain text or link field).
- Return to the bundle configuration and set "Field with source information" to use that field.
If you want to store the fields that are retrieved from Instagram you should create appropriate fields on the created media bundle (id) and map this to the fields provided by Instagram.php.
NOTE: At the moment there is no GUI for that, so the only method of doing that for now is via CMI.
This would be an example of that (the field_map section):
