Instatext

Pet project to explore the Instagram and Twilio APIs via Rails.

Dependencies

• Rails 3
• Instagram Ruby Gem
• Twilio-ruby

Environment Variables

The app needs a few environment variables necessary to work with the APIs. In development it's set up to look for a config/app_env_vars.rb to define the variables. Please make sure these variables get loaded on your production machine as well.

if !Rails.env.production?
	ENV['INSTAGRAM_CLIENT_ID'] = 'instagram client id'
	ENV['INSTAGRAM_CLIENT_SECRET'] = 'instagram client secret key'
	ENV['INSTAGRAM_AUTH_CALLBACK_URL'] = 'http://publicly-reachable-url/auth_callback'
	ENV['INSTAGRAM_SUB_CALLBACK_URL'] = 'http://publicly-reachable-url/sub_callback'
	ENV['TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID'] = 'twilio account SID'
	ENV['TWILIO_AUTH_TOKEN'] = 'twilio auth token'
	ENV['SECRET_TOKEN'] = 'rails secret token'
end
