Instagram Post Lookup (by Post URL)

omnial/instagram-fetch-post-by-url

Given a public Instagram post URL, returns the caption, like and comment counts, publish timestamp, attached media type(s), and the posting account's own username and display name. Returns an empty object `{}` when the URL doesn't resolve to an existing post. The underlying media file link itself is withheld -- only whether each attached item is an image or video is returned.
