Flutter package to get Instagram user details and download posts.
To use instagram_public_api, first start by importing the package.
import 'package:instagram_public_api/instagram_public_api.dart';
FlutterInsta insta = FlutterInsta();
//Get Profile Details(must be public)
InstaProfileData user = await insta.getProfileData("thefluttercommunity");
print(user.username);
print(user.profilePicURL);
print(user.bio);
print(user.externalURL);
print(user.followers);
print(user.following);
print(user.isVerified);
print(user.isPrivate);
print(user.username);
//Get Post Details (Post with nested images and video and details) (must be public)
final List<InstaPost> post = await FlutterInsta().getPostData(
"https://www.instagram.com/p/CLXXql8gwpo/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link");
for (int i = 0; i < post.length; i++) {
print(post[i].dimensions);
print(post[i].displayURL); //post download url
print(post[i].postType);
print(post[i].thumbnailDimensions);
print(post[i].thumbnailUrl);
print(post[i].user.followers);
print(post[i].user.isPrivate);
print(post[i].user.isVerified);
print(post[i].user.posts);
print(post[i].user.profilePicURL);
print(post[i]..user.username);
print(post[i].videoDuration);
}

InstaProfileData getProfileData()
returns user details
List<InstaPost> getPostData()
returns Post Details (Post with nested images and video and details)
Instagram allows a maximum of around 200–300 request hits per hour. After reaching the limit, you’ll start getting the server error.
You cannot get Instagram insight data using this API. Look into FB Instagram Insight API.
Since this works on publically available API’s, you cannot get private account data.
