Instagram API that didn't require approval for basic things like downloading the image for a given Instagram URL. :P They've made it incredibly restrictive now.

- raverbashing 9y agoWell, this is web scraping, not necessary an API problem (depends on their tos as well, of course)
- motyar 9y agoJust add ?__a=1 with any instagram URL read -> https://medium.com/@motyar/instagrams-public-json-apis-330e4e3f5307 https://medium.com/@motyar/instagrams-public-json-apis-330e4...
- seanwilson 9y agoIs that a sanctioned way of doing it though? I don't want this to break later. Their https://api.instagram.com/oembed/?url= https://api.instagram.com/oembed/?url= endpoint is at least documented but doesn't give full resolution photos and only limited metadata.
