Image URLs cannot be viewed at times
Closed
Hi,
This is more of a question than an issue.
The URLs that I retrieve from the excelsheet of results can be viewed if I look them up directly. However, when I try to view these images on PowerBI using the same URLs, they don't load. Only a small handful do (if at all). I was wondering if there are any differences in the URLs- do they expire, are they restricted in some way which doesn't allow PowerBI to access them? Why are some working and not others?
Appreciate if I can get insight into the nature of the URLs or where the images are stored so I can troubleshoot this issue.
Thanks!
Hi!
It is the anti-hotlinking Instagram feature, all media URLs expired over time to avoid displaying them outside of Instagram apps, so if you want to keep scraped media, you need to download files ASAP, or at least in the next 1-2 days, then host files somewhere by yourself.
I will close the issue now, but if there is anything else we could help with, please let us know.
