I'm not expert in curl and I need compose an Ajax call. This is requirement:
curl -F 'access_token=ACCESS-TOKEN' \
https://api.instagram.com/v1/media/{media-id}/likes
What does -F mean?
Below my ajax call but I don't know where insert -F:
var url='https://api.instagram.com/v1/media/731833501888524747_38804843/likes';
$.ajax({
url: url,
success: function( data, textStatus, jqXHR) {
console.log(data);
},
error: function(obj) {
console.log(obj);
},
});
I've trie also with:
https://api.instagram.com/v1/media/731776229967638865_38804843/likes/?access_token=129219*****a59a4da481c65
but only returns me likes number.
The -F lets curl emulate a filled-in form in which a user has pressed the submit button. This causes curl to POST data using the Content-Type multipart/form-data.
Also I think if you're working on ajax calls, the official documentation will definitely come in handy as you can make an ajax call and have data type set to JSONP like so:
https://api.instagram.com/v1/tags/coffee/media/recent?access_token=fb2e77d.47a0479900504cb3ab4a1f626d174d2d&callback=callbackFunction
As far as getting the ajax request to work properly, I would really suggest you give it a try yourself. Here's the documentation. It's only a matter of setting in the right parameters and specifying the correct URL that you would want to make the request to and have the correct data type filled in, although it tries to determine that itself.
I hope this points you in the right direction.
