When using Apify’s Instagram scraper, the media URLs generated for downloaded content expire almost immediately, causing download failures.

Is there a way to access a stable URL for the copy of each media file that Apify has already downloaded, rather than relying on the original, short-lived Instagram URL?

Alexey Udovydchenko (alexey)

Hi!

This actor is not capable of downloading media files. URLs from Instagram expire in hours, normally in 24-48 hours. It is usually long enough for downloading, but it should be done as soon as possible after the run.

If you were blocked earlier, it means your IP is rejected or recognized as a data center.

To be sure, please try https://apify.com/lukaskrivka/images-download-upload with the input sample below (just change dataset ID):

{
    "convertWebpToPng": false,
    "datasetId": "cenIPyerkqY7FAiY2",
    "fileNameFunction": "({ url }) => new URL(url).href.split('&').at(-1)",
    "imageCheckType": "content-type",
    "noDownloadRun": false,
    "pathToImageUrls": "images",
    "preDownloadFunction": "({ data }) => data.flatMap((postOrProfile) => {\r\n    const items = postOrProfile?.latestPosts || [postOrProfile];\r\n    return items.map((item) => {\r\n        if (!item.images?.length) {\r\n            item.images = [item.displayUrl];\r\n        }\r\n        item.images = item.images.filter(Boolean).map((url, index) => `${url}&${item.ownerUsername}-${item.shortCode}-${index}`)\r\n        return item;\r\n    })\r\n})",
    "proxyConfiguration": {
        "useApifyProxy": true
    },
    "s3CheckIfAlreadyThere": false,
    "uploadTo": "key-value-store"
}
