Show Instagram public figures profile data

Need help APIs
1

Hi folks!
It seemed to me a simple task to do… however, I’m reaching a month trying to accomplish it but no success!
My app has a searchbox where I type public figures names and it shows basic info like name, profile picture…
How can I make it show very basic and public Instagram data like in the image below?

I’ve read a bunch of docs in “developers.facebook” they have lots of instructions on how to get very deep data from profiles… but the very basic and public info I’m guessing we don’t need all that procedures and verifications.

How can I definitely get this task done?

Thanks in advance for any insight.

I thought that this basic display API was deprecated a short while ago. Did you check the docs? there must be a way, I remember them mentioning that now you need a business account to do that. How are you getting them now?

Hook up with a service like rapidapi, they probably have a ton of Instagram endpoints.

Gonna check this “business account” thing out, thanks!
I’ve received access to profile pictures through “instagram.com/[celebrity]” but it worked just a couple of times until I started getting error messages.

I’m not familiar with this… and I’m not thinking about a paid solution. But thanks anyway
