Easy access to instagram users public profile
<p>I'm building an simple osx app, that will fetch my follower count and other public available stats from my instagram-user, and keep statistics on them. I'm know that there is a method for getting user data throught the API, like this:</p>

<pre><code>https://api.instagram.com/v1/users/self/?access_token=ACCESS-TOKEN
</code></pre>

<p><em>But I would like to avoid the hassle of getting the access token...</em></p>

<p>I know that there are ways around the API for getting other public information, like getting a users recent media:</p>

<pre><code>https://www.instagram.com/USERNAME/media/
</code></pre>

<p><strong>Does anyone know a similar method for getting a users public profile information, like follows- an followers-count and number of posts?</strong></p>
