The aim of this module is to provide an easy way to retrieve a user's Instagram data.
This module is available on NPM.
npm install user-instagram
I tried to make this module user-friendly as much as I could. Just provide a username or a profile link.

const getInstaProfile = require("user-instagram");
getInstaProfile("edouard_courty")
.then(userData => {
console.log(userData.user)
})
.catch(console.error);
The output will look like the following:
