Yes, it's possible with ?__a=1 queries which return json.

$otherPage = 'nasa';
$response = file_get_contents("https://www.instagram.com/$otherPage/?__a=1");
if ($response !== false) {
    $data = json_decode($response, true);
    if ($data !== null) {
        $follows = $data['graphql']['user']['edge_follow']['count'];
        $followedBy = $data['graphql']['user']['edge_followed_by']['count'];
        echo $follows . ' and ' . $followedBy;
    }
}
