you need to have pageid, access token and an short code (which can be extracted from the URL you have for eg if this is the url :https://www.instagram.com/reel/Cs12TgIv8Ns/. "Cs12TgIv8Ns" is the short code)

  1. then you can use the page id to convert to instagram business id using the following url: url = Graph + endpoint + '?fields=' + instagram_business_account + '&access_token=' + Token

  2. convert the short code to

    alphabet = 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789-_'
    media_id = 0
    for letter in short_code:
        media_id = (media_id * 64) + alphabet.index(letter)
    IG_id_list.append(str(media_id))
  1. then use the following url to get various metrics and media id https://graph.facebook.com/v11.0/{instagram_business_account_id}/media?fields=....&access_token=token

Put the following at the end of the post: ?__a=1&__d=dis, e.g.:
