I need to download instagram data for a research project. It seems like almost all APIs which provided access to instagram data have been restrained by facebook company.
Hi - Instagram API is a freak! First, you can only get data from Business Accounts. Also, you can't go historical. And, you can only search hashtags.
So, I used a scrapper that got me around 1k posts and its details and this is your best solution. It is there but I do not know where is it now. Forget about API if you need anything like the limitations above.
