Problem getting IG data from the web

Hello everybody,
I found this link https://www.instagram.com/username?__a=1&__d=dis to get user data in json format.
I'm trying to download data to my website via jquery $.get(url, function (data) {... but Instagram requires authentication to show the complete data of the requested page.
Could you help me find a way to get Instagram data into my website? Thank you

Not sure what the purpose is, but look into if they maybe have a developers API?

Try making the query from behind some quality Instagram proxy.

I have an influencers site, I need instagram data shown for companies so they can rate them and calculate engagement. Without data (biography, photos, videos, etc.) companies don't know how to choose the influencer ...
The public instagram APIs are just for showing some personal data or just some business account data.
Instagram's private APIs are very restrictive, they can do few readings or the account is immediately banned.
This comes from my experience of course, which is why I ask for help here, maybe I missed something...

I could, but I'm afraid I would solve for a short time, considering that after a few requests from the same IP, Instagram asks for authentication.


I am looking for some definitive solution, I will have to advertise my site and I would not want to waste my budget on something that does not work ...

I did that a long time ago, IG limits you after few requests (they redirect you to login page). You have to use proxies or just give up and try paid service from RapidAPI.

As Instagram is becoming more and more aware of the automation problem, they are making constant changes to minimize the issue as much as possible. For about a year, they have been almost always requiring authentication before giving out any (publicly available) data. So, the best way would be to use a decent number of scraper accounts and request the data using residential or 4G proxies. Another option would be to use some sort of paid service like @777FLICK mentioned.

Yes, I have already walked the path of scraper users, but after a few days it asks for authentication, capcha, password change etc. it's a real hassle. I think I will try the solution mentioned by 777flick. Thanks for the support.

@777FLICK RapidApi definitely solves my problem. Thank you for your suggestion and let me know if I can reciprocate in any way. All the best
