I want to get the count of recent unfollowers from my Instagram account. I have been googling around the internet but could not find the solution. I want to write the PHP script using Instragram API to perform this task. How can I achieve this. Please help me out.

You can't get that data from API... the only way to do that is:

1 - Get all followers from API and store in your local database some days before 2 - Get all followers from API again and: 2.1 - Compare with your local database 2.2 - See what users starts to follow (not in local database yet) 2.3 - See waht users unfollow you (in local database but not retrieved via API)

It's not glamorous, but will work fine!

You can use API. https://github.com/criexe/api/wiki/Social-Networks-Page-Stats-API

GET https://api.criexe.com/social/pageStats?instagram=microsoft

{
   "instagram":{
      "user":"microsoft",
      "followers":1423870
   },
   "total":1423870
}
