NodeJS module NPM package that helps to scrape and load instagram profile media and useful information.
This package was created in 2019 and was depending on ?__a=1, at that time instagram allows the usage of /?__a=1&is_video=true but now instagram no longer allows this and also not allows fetch profiles info without auth session.
Maybe in the future I will implement a scrapping-based solution for this package.
Instagram has gone to great lengths to prevent scraping and other unauthorized access to their public content. This module is dependant on the markup the public-facing instagram.com. Should that change this module might also stop working as intended. It also only loads the 12 posts that are displayed on first-load without following pagination to load more images. You should take this into consideration when deciding whether this module will work for you.
note: there are some limitation of loading instagram data, but it still usefull in most cases :)
