When appending ?__a=1 to a page on Instagram it is possible to view the JSON, as in this link:

https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/malta/?__a=1.

This response contains an end_cursor field that references the last object in the response. The format of this field is: "J0HWJ-mOAAAAF0HWJ-hGgAAAFiYA.

Does anyone have a clue on how I can find out what information was encoded inside the string?

I know where to find it and it's an encoded string of some of the info in the response. I want to know what information.Pietrek
That is probably a cookie or a database cursor marker; an info only relevant to Instagram. I'm not sure how that would be of any use to you.Massenet
