Yes this is possible with a content - plugin. You can use the onContentAfterSave event to do that.

Within this very callback you get the Article as parameter, so you can access all details of it, to create the webservice call.

There are some more events which plugins can listen to. Joomla Plugins are pretty simple to develop, basically they consist of an describing xml and a php file and you can find documentation here. To get started you should have a look at an existing content plugin (/plugins/content/*).

The actual call to instagram can be done using curl.

Looking out for an Instagram api, I found that: github.com/cosenary/Instagram-PHP-API and instagram.com/developer. I hope that can help you with the webservice call.

There is an extension in JED that will lessen your burden of coding. You can have a look at it here http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/extension/social-web/social-display/jfbconnect . Remember thats a Paid extension.
