Instagram API: getting the user id of all the users who have liked a post

How can I get all the users who have liked an image? I see that in page_info of a specific photo with 76 likes, there's u'end_cursor': None which I couldn't use in order to get the rest of the likes. Also as seen in this JSON only 10 of user's ID are shown.

                  u'page_info': {u'end_cursor': None,
                                 u'has_next_page': False,
                                 u'has_previous_page': False,
                                 u'start_cursor': None}},

http://pastebin.com/AZUQBvrF I had a similar problem with traversing to other pages of an Instagram user which I solved using the following code. However, I am unsure how to handle this when end_cursor=None? Please suggest solution and guidance.

 99             while data["user"]["media"]["page_info"]["has_next_page"]:
100                 end_cursors.append(data["user"]["media"]["page_info"]["end_cursor"])
101                 data = json.loads(requests.get('https://www.instagram.com/ducks_love_sun/?__a=1&max_id={}'.format(end_cursors[-1])).text)
102                 #pprint(data)
103                 
104                 for i in range(len(json_response["user"]["media"]["nodes"])):
105                     count = count + 1
106                     print json_response["user"]["media"]["nodes"][i]["likes"]["count"], count

In a single image we see this:

 u'likes': {u'count': 76,
                       u'nodes': [{u'user':

but there's only 10 nodes shown in the json!

Feel free to look at this for an example: https://www.instagram.com/p/BRG1WiEA1yM/?__a=1

I tried the followed but still get the content of 10 nodes:

pprint(img_response["media"]["likes"].items())

result is shown here: http://pastebin.com/7rPLqnUS

**UPDATE: as you see in this pastebin, the json of a photo with many comments has end_cursor and I can use that to traverse all of the comments:

While there's no cursor for likes seemingly!

That reverse endpoint will not return more than 10 instagram photo liked user id.

So you can use Instagram official API endpoint to get all liked user id https://www.instagram.com/developer/endpoints/likes/#get_media_likes
