Getting followers and following with Instagram APIs

I am studying to integrate Instagram into my app.But I have some confusion. I found 2 API document: https://www.instagram.com/developer/ and https://developers.facebook.com/docs/instagram-api/. They have differences about supporting API Endpoints as well as how to use. So, what are they and what should we use the one for my app?

I need to get followers and following of user. But I could not found any APIs support for that functions.

Could you please help, I really need it for my app.

Thanks a lot

Does Instagram API still work?

On the 29th of June, 2020, Instagram will stop using the old API (“Basic Permission”) to display photos from personal Instagram accounts to widgets. 3rd party apps using this, current API will no longer be able to display photos from your account if they don't switch to the new API after this date.

What can be done with Instagram API?

The API can be used to get and publish their media, manage and reply to comments on their media, identify media where they have been @mentioned by other Instagram users, find hashtagged media, and get basic metadata and metrics about other Instagram Businesses and Creators.

As of 1st of June 2016. Now you're only able to get the list of your own followers/followings.

You can read about it here.

This api is used to get own followers/following list :
