This use pulls us data from the post
https://www.instagram.com/p/{shortcode}/?__a=1

But I need a usage like this.
https://www.instagram.com/p/{postID}/?__a=1

How do I get this usage? What is the way to pull data over id?

Pretty sure there was a way to convert from shortcode to postID or vice-versa.

To get the postID you can either use some conversion algorithm (You can easily find it on google) or just take it from the json from the first url.
