Find Instagram media url by ID
Java Solution :
public static String getInstagramPostId(String mediaId) {
String postId = "";
try {
long id = Long.parseLong(mediaId.substring(0, mediaId.indexOf('_')));
String alphabet = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789-_";
while (id > 0) {
long remainder = (id % 64);
id = (id - remainder) / 64;
postId = alphabet.charAt((int)remainder) + postId;
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return postId;
}
