Question

Say I have the URL to an image, http://instagr.am/p/xxxxxxxx/, how can I check if the image is set to private or not from a webpage? Is there some API that I can use?

Answer 1

Use the GET relationship endpoint.

https://api.instagram.com/v1/users/user-id/relationship

This endpoint returns a BOOL value "target_user_is_private".
