You can develop a web-app to show Instagram images/photos from other users accounts using API call. Instagram API is the easiest so far to me. At first you have to visit https://www.instagram.com/developer/ to create a developer account and then an application for API communication as below steps:
The most important link is https://www.instagram.com/developer which describes API procedures.
You can create a Application and then you have client id and client secret as below screenshot.
Below is the full PHP code snippet to get images/photos from Instagram using API call:
Authorization screen is as below screenshots (User will authorize this application and then forwarded to redirect URI with a one time code, you can use that code to get access token, and then you can get users photos as well as users basic info using those access token):
And output is as below:
