  • <?php

  function fetchData($url){
  $ch = curl_init();
  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 20);
  $result = curl_exec($ch);
  curl_close($ch);
  return $result;
  }

  $result = fetchData("https://api.instagram.com/v1/users/**/media/recent/?access_token=******.*******&count=60");

  $result = json_decode($result);
  foreach ($result->data as $post) {
     if(empty($post->caption->text)) {
       // Do Nothing
     }
     else {
        echo '<a class="instagram-unit" target="blank" href="'.$post->link.'">
        <img src="'.$post->images->low_resolution->url.'" alt="'.$post->caption->text.'" width="50" height="auto" />

  • I am not too familiar with cURL.. but I think the HTTP API from the Codex is more of what you want to do.

  $result = json_decode($result);
  foreach ($result->data as $post) {
     if(empty($post->caption->text)) {
       // Do Nothing
     }
     else {
