I've been using Instagram's undocumented API https://www.instagram.com/<user>/?__a=1 to get a public user feed on a website. Since a while now, this is not working anymore, probably because Facebook removed it. Is there an other way to get the data of an instagram account in a easy way?

I built a small server which does that transformation. You'll receive the instagram data as before with ?__a=1 (as JSON ) - have fun 😊

EDIT 12/2020: Unfortunately the service is no longer available
