Instagram userId to username

[aragonthebest]

Hey, is there a way to get the username from a given userId, through webscrapping, without login?

I think it is more easiest get this information with login.

If you have this id-s, its not so difficult create an login... than loop throw and collect the real usernames.

yes this would be a possibility with "/web/friendships/{{accountId}}/follow/"

however, it would be very slow, because after a login, i can't do many requests in a short timeperiod

Almost all the endpoints (if not all) on Instagram are limited. You can also try users/{userId}/info/ (private Instagram API).

Yes but a private instagram api would also need a login.
i agree with the statement, that the endpoints are limited, but you can always use proxys. And than there are no limits

How many useids have you?

How many useids have you?

about 17k
but i think, you are right. If i use the private api, to catch the actual userIds from e.g. followers, I can also catch the actual usernames. After that, i can get the rest of the information through webscrapping without login

igerslike.com has an built-in scrapper for this kind of job

Ok... I find a way in two steps, but without login. If you are familiar with programming, and JSON, you can make it.

So. First request this url.:

https://www.instagram.com/graphql/query/?query_id=17888483320059182&variables={"id":"YOURIDWHATYOUWANTCHECK","first":1,"after":""}

Here you can use ID.

The response you will got his post.:

From this response JSON, you can catch his first post "Owner -> Shortcode".

Than, second request.:

https://www.instagram.com/p/YOURSHORTCODEWHATYOUCATCHFROMFIRSTREQUEST/?__a=1

and from this jsonresponse.:

Owner - > username ! or what you need.

NICE! Thank you

This would probably not work for private user or user with 0 medias. But its ok
