Instagram how to get my user id from username?

Question

I\'m in the process of embedding my image feed in my website using JSON, the URL needs my user id so I can retrieve this feed.

So, where can I find/get my user id?

Answer 1

Here is a really easy website that works well for me:

http://www.instaid.co.uk/

Or you can do the following replacing 'username' with your Instagram username

https://www.instagram.com/username/?__a=1

Or you can login to your Instagram account and use google dev tools and look at the cookies that have been stored. 'ds_user_id' is your user ID
