Share Instagram photos possible?

I am currently developing a webapp for a friend of mine and he asked me if it would be possible to let people share Instagram photos that he placed on the site.

So basically he puts some photos from Instagram on his page and viewers should be able to share that picture on Instagram.

No. From the API documentation;

https://instagram.com/developer/endpoints/media/

At this time, uploading via the API is not possible. We made a conscious choice not to add this for the following reasons:

Instagram is about your life on the go – we hope to encourage photos from within the app. We want to fight spam & low quality photos. Once we allow uploading from other sources, it's harder to control what comes into the Instagram ecosystem. All this being said, we're working on ways to ensure users have a consistent and high-quality experience on our platform.
