Work with any API using GET or POST requests...

Thanks I will look into it.

Is it a simple matter of just copy and pasting the requests from the api docs into the get/post or is there more to it than that in terms of coding?

What kind of actions to you want to perform?

Their public API have some limitations, for example you can't comment/upload with it.
Another problem is their SSL requirement, I'm not sure how zenno would handle that.

The Instagram API uses the OAuth 2.0 protocol for simple, but effective authentication and authorization. OAuth 2.0 is much easier to use than previous schemes and developers can start using the Instagram API almost immediately. The one thing to keep in mind is that all requests to the API must be made over SSL (https:// not http://).

If you just want to retrieve data you can do so by GET and an api key, and doesn't require SSL.
Check their endpoints for more information https://instagram.com/developer/endpoints/
Or take another route and figure out their private api, more work but worth it.

All I can answer you NO it is not simple.... But yes all you need to get something done is API docs...
