How to get the instagram username from instagram messenger webhook

You cannot. in v12 you would make this API call after having received the webhook and use the IGSID for it.

Instagram does not expose the handle, for a matter of privacy I suppose.

Also, no webhook includes contact details in FB or IG, but does for WhatsApp.
