Getting other account's followers count by using Instagram API

问题

I want to show lists of famous Instagram Users with their followers count and profile pictures in my project.
Is there any possible ways I can get real time followers count of other accounts by using there account id only? (I am developing with javascript, jsp, ajax). Please Help!

Please try this,

$userID = "miketyson";
$myToken = "***some_valid_access_token***";

$userURL = "https://api.instagram.com/v1/users/" . $userID . "/?access_token=" . $myToken;
$fgc = url_get_contents($userURL);
$jsonUser = json_decode(json_encode($fgc));

//now, we have all information about user.

$bio = $jsonUser->data->bio;
$website = $jsonUser->data->website;
$mediaCount = $jsonUser->data->counts->media;
$follows = $jsonUser->data->counts->follows;
$followedby = $jsonUser->data->counts->followed_by;

echo "There is ".$followedby." followers of ".$userID;

I do not have valid access token now, but I developed a instagram.com like website in the past :)
