Hello!!! I've been working on an open source library for scraping Instagram data you might find interesting at this repo. It scrapes the same JSON data you explored in your blog post with steps as easy as

from instascrape import Profile
manan = Profile.from_username('manan.code')
manan.load()
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

and that's it!! It scraped almost all the data points you can get from the data_json you were exploring. It has similar functionality for hashtags and posts as well, check it out :)
