title: Instagram API how to get user ID?
body: <p>How can I get the user ID with the user name with instagram API without user authentication? If I try users/search, it returns multiple research results, so how can I be sure that I get the result of exact user name only?</p>
  
  <p>For example, following requests return multiple users having their usernames similiar to <code>aliciakeys</code>, I want to get only the data of the user with exact user name.</p>
