I have simple GET request on postman and it does working fine
https://www.instagram.com/p/CVhuRABqnAI/?__a=1&__d=dis

When Im using PHP CURL its did not respond me with Json data rather showing logo

$curl = curl_init();



curl_setopt_array($curl, array(

  CURLOPT_USERAGENT   => "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:31.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/31.0",

  CURLOPT_URL => "https://www.instagram.com/p/CVhuRABqnAI/?__a=1&__d=dis",

  CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,

  CURLOPT_ENCODING => "",

  CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS => 10,

  CURLOPT_TIMEOUT => 0,

  CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION => true,

  CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION => CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_1,

  CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST => "GET",

));



$response = curl_exec($curl);

$error = curl_error($curl);

curl_close($curl);



if($error) {

    echo "cURL Error:" . $error;

} else {

    echo $response;

}

Can some one else me with this?

My Answer:
It looks like you are missing the CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER option in your CURL request. Instagram uses SSL for their website, so you need to set this option to false in order to make the request work.

You can add the following line to your CURL request:

php
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);


This should solve the issue and allow you to receive the JSON data from the Instagram API.
