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:

  • Is the https://www.instagram.com/{username}/media/ documented some where?
  • Is it widely used on the internet?
Solution

  • 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.
