I am developing an Progressive Web Application , by part of this App ,user is able to search an Instagram page and fetch all public info about page ( followers, following , bio, ...) , Since this app will have a lot of users, if a lot of user call to back-end at the same time and back-end code call to Instagram private api based on one specific account then Instagram platform will banded this account , so I am ganna to know that is it possible to force user Login in through Instagram OAuth and when user received access token then we use this Token for login and fetch data from Instagram directly on client side?

Unfortunately this isn't possible. The regular API works that way but not the API used in the app which uses cookies to authenticate. If you're dealing with multiple users in one IP it's recommend to use proxies or to make the requests on the client side (only possible in node or add-ons due to CORS).

@Nerixyz thanks , do you have any suggestion? my App developed by React Native , how can I call these APIs form client side ?
I am investing a lot of money to develop this App so I am ganna choose most safe and reliable Approach to make sure App will not get down by Instagram limitation.
I appreciate if answer me , Any notes would be helpful

There are other issues on React Native. I don't know it enough to give recommendations.

Could you plz just list issue on react? ( quick note is enough )
thanks

Take a look at this library https://github.com/JaneaSystems/nodejs-mobile-react-native

Also, the best way to learn is to just try it out.
