Follow on Instagram?

Is there any way for us to incorporate a users instagram page in our apps for visitors to see his instagram pics? I can't seem to find out a way to do so. Has anyone incorporated the ability to follow someone on instagram via a custom URL or another screen in BT like we do for Facebook and twitter. Thanks anthony

These are the Instagram Custom URL schemes I've used: http://instagram.com/developer/iphone-hooks/ Hoping those don't change much once facebook takes over...

Which hook(s) have you used to view / pull the customers instagram images? I just tested it with my acct and it didn't work with the username.

You have to have the Instagram app installed AND have a working account on the device set-up for those hooks to work. Otherwise it just goes to the Instagram sign-up page and shows the popular pics feed. This is my hook on a Custom URL Scheme on BT 2.0 (self hosted) instagram://user?username=(insert name)

Cant get it to connect. Have instagram app installed and running, and no go. Do i need to be following the user that i am trying to view in order to have custom url connect with hook?I'm getting just a blank page.

no, i'm not following the users who's page i'm referencing. This is how i set-it up: This is a "Launch Native APP screen" The Application to launch is a "Custom URL Scheme - Third party App" The Data String is what I posted above. That's the same way you set up yours and no luck? Maybe it has something to do with the user - maybe they don't post a feed or have it public? maybe try a different user?
