Instagram user embed

The HTML embed snippet for a profile widget, plus the account summary and recent posts that ride along in the same response.

The HTML embed snippet for a profile widget, plus the account summary and recent posts that ride along in the same response.

Instagram publishes a post's view count only for video. Photo and carousel posts return null rather than zero, because zero would be a claim we cannot support.

Share and save counts are not public on Instagram, so they are not returned.
