Get user info by username

[NicklasWallgren]

Hey,

The library doesn’t include that particular functionality, but it’s pretty easy to extend. The endpoint in question is users/$username/usernameinfo/ which includes a user object in the response.

I might add it later this week.

Regards
Nicklas

@furkan6116 Alright. I'll add the the functionality later today.

[NicklasWallgren]

Added in the latest release. Closing this issue.

[patriotaki]

how can this be used? how can we find which functions are available is there any documentation?

[NicklasWallgren]

@patriotaki
You can use the userByName method, ie

$response = $instagram->userByName('dogsofinstagram');

There isn't any documentation available, but you can find all available methods using an IDE.
