I am developing an Instagram post widget for the website.
Instagram embed API ( https://www.instagram.com/developer/embedding/ ) provides upon request a JSON object with post data:
- author name
- author page url
- post title
- post text
- photo link
...
approx. : https://api.instagram.com/oembed/?url=http://insta...
all the data I need, except:
- the number of likes
- the number of comments
Please tell me how to get this data
