You can either use Instagram Insights or an external tool of your choosing.

In 2016, Instagram introduced Business Profiles along with Instagram Insights. Instagram Insights offers some basic info about your performance over a short time. It’s useful for some quick data concerning your performance and a good starting point.

Since not everyone wants to have a Business account (and Insights contains only basic information over a short period), analysing your organic activity can be very complicated. But don’t worry, that’s why external tools exist, like Sotrender.
