Instagram Media/Feed API

I am currently looking at Instagram feed integration in a web app. The offical APIs are: Instagram Graph API and Instagram Platform API.

And then I found one endpoint like https://www.instagram.com/instagram/media/ on SO, here and here, which seems an undocumented (at least I haven't seen it on facebook/instagram document). It's publicly accessible and you can get a lot of information about the posts including likes and comments.

So my questions are:

I wrote small library on typescript. It doesn't require access token or client id.The library uses RegExp under the hood. You can get your photos like this:

import Nanogram from 'nanogram.js';

const instagramParser = new Nanogram();

instagramParser.getMediaByUsername('instagram').then((media) => {
  console.log(media);
 });

This endpoint has stopped working on November 7 2017. But you can use this other endpoint to get the same results:

GET /users/user-id/media/recent
https://api.instagram.com/v1/users/{user-id}/media/recent/?access_token=ACCESS-TOKEN

Get the most recent media published by a user.
The public_content scope is required if the user is not the owner of the access_token.

REQUIREMENTS
Scope: public_content

PARAMETERS
ACCESS_TOKEN    A valid access token.
MAX_ID  Return media earlier than this max_id.
MIN_ID  Return media later than this min_id.
COUNT   Count of media to return.

Its not official API, it may stop working anytime, not a good idea to use in a App. Other Instagram undocumented APIs have stopped working in the past, its good to use for one-off projects but I would not use it in a app/website.
