Since Instagram offers all kinds of API endpoints. https://www.instagram.com/developer/endpoints/likes/ , it should be possible, depending on what it is you want.

What is it you want to “collect”?

Hi thanks for the response, when the user clicks the follow button i want to be able to post it to a table in mysql,
this is how i did it using facebook like

<script type="text/javascript">
 FB.Event.subscribe('edge.create', function(href, widget) {

 document.myform.submit();
});
</script>

then i had a form that posted to a php page and that posted it to mysql
the form

<form name="myform" method="post" action="like.php"><input name="facebook" type="hidden" value="<?php echo $row['facebook']?>"> 
    </form>

its simple for facebook i want to be able to do the same with instagram.

I updated the post to show the HTML again.

@thanks @cpradio.

@westy4463, that HTML doesn’t seem to be a like button.

So, someone clicks on the image of an Instagram to like or follow an Instagram? How are you getting the image on your site? Or are you actually embedding Instagrams on your site and want to capture when people follow one?

I have to ask again, what is it you want to capture?
