#OSINT did anyone notice that clicking on instagram URLs (instagram.com/p/...) on Twitter has changed? Previously we could open PUBLIC links from PRIVATE accounts. Now there are two possibilities
1. Opens link (PUBLIC accounts)
2. Redirects to priv. account (PRIV account)
The thing is when you visit the Instagram URL directly, the Instagram URL seems to be redirected (301 status code).
Another change to IG:
i.instagram.com/api/v1/users/{ID}/info doesn't work anymore:
{“message”: “useragent mismatch”, “status”: “fail”}
This solves it (but starts with an username instead of an ID)
instagram.com/aware_online/?…
From there you can find IG ID and a profile pic in HD
So, wanna find the Instagram ID of a specific user? Simply put "?__a=1" behind instagram.com{username} or navigate to the digits after "profilepage_" in the source code.
