Facebook images url from posts get expired
Closed
Hey, In my app, I need to display the images from the posts. the thing is that src image url of facebook gets expired after ~month (Facebook changes it for security), so after this period, i will not be able to display images. The only options for me are to scrape again and save the link again, which is bad practice in my opinion, or another option is to save all the photos on hard storage on my server - not efficient), and its really bad for my customers. Is there any workaround that you can do with the Actor for that issue?
Hi! Its known Facebook limitation, anti-hotlinking feature to prevent reuse images from their CDN. No known way around because expiration time encoded in url hash, we can not change it.
I´m going to close the issue now, but if there would be anything else we could help with, please let us know.
