Get Instagram Page Info

First of all, I found this URL to get information about the Instagram page. https://www.instagram.com/facebook/?__a=1 . Is this the right way to access information, or could it be torn in the future? I checked the instagram api but could not find client_credential support (in fact, I want to access my open Instagram page from my server). In fact, our server needs to receive and send this information to our native Android and IOS clients. What is the correct way to get the page title / image / subscribers / next / description / posts (including comments and comments)?

  • Without using the instagram api, you can get information from the instagram site. Here is a demo of getting a public instagram user profile.
  • I created an api in nodejs to get an instagram user profile image using the cheerio module. And created an interface in angular2. Like all this component deployed to Cloud Heroku.

Any hidden functionality will almost certainly be removed. You should always rely on public APIs.

You must use the Instagram user API for your specific use case. https://www.instagram.com/developer/endpoints/users/

An ideal solution for each request from your own applications, you should not call the instagram API, otherwise you may be throttled. You should invoke the instagram API on demand and possibly cache the result for an hour or so.
