Instagram API how to get user ID?
- by user1355300
How can I get the user ID with the user name with instagram API without user authentication? If I try users/search, it returns multiple research results, so how can I be sure that I get the result of exact user name only?
For example, following requests return multiple users having their usernames similiar to aliciakeys, I want to get only the data of the user with exact user name.
