WorkAround to get username, if the user has a media

$id = TARGET_USER;
$media_id = $instagram->getMediasByUserId($id)[0]->getId();
$username = $instagram->getMediaById( $media_id )->getOwner()->getUsername();

const ACCOUNT_JSON_PRIVATE_INFO_BY_ID = 'https://i.instagram.com/api/v1/users/{userId}/info/';

Does not work any more.

I doubt there is any other way

Same thing here.. Is there any other way to fetch account information by using an Id ?
