We are facing timeouts when fetching media. Basically, FB is not responding to us even after 30 seconds, and Heroku kills the thread as it's long-running.

client = InstagramBasicDisplay::Client.new(auth_token: user.instagram_token)
response = client.media_feed

Can I send a PR to add this functionality? If so, do you prefer timeout to be an environment variable or an optional param?

Hey there! Really sorry for any dumb question but Im a rookie on this area....
Im trying to set things up but have no idea where should I implement this part ot the code:

client = InstagramBasicDisplay::Client.new
user = User.first

long_token_request = client.long_lived_token(short_lived_token: user.instagram_token)

if long_token_request.success?
  auth_token = token_request.payload.access_token
  expires_in = token_request.payload.expires_in
  user.update_instagram_token(token: token, expires_in: expires_in)
else
  render json: long_token_request.error, status: 400
end

Should I code it on my def home inside PagesController?
Im coding a simple landing page where Im supposed to render my client's instagram feed....Thank you so much in advance!

Hi,
As Instagram changed their API Permissions lately, I am trying to implement the Instagram Basic Display API at one of my Ruby on Rails websites. I have already manually get my first long-lived access token and the next step is to get the media from instagram and find a way to automatically update the long-lived access token within the app. I found your article at ConvertKit really helpful and interesting. I installed your instagram_basic_display gem and tried to follow the guidelines here at github but obviously I face a problem on setting the enviroment variables. Could you please be more specific in which file exactly the enviroment variables should be saved and how it should look like?

Thank you in advance,
Elina
