Instagram actor outputs temp URLs

Closed

falkemedia opened this issue
a month ago

The actor, during some large runs, provides a video file URL in the post URL field instead of the actual Instagram post link. These video URLs are temporary and expire once the signature times out.

Hi!

All media URLs from Instagram are expiring in 1-2 days. Sometimes less by some Instagram logic unknown to us.

It is anti-hotlinking protection, a feature by Instagram that prevents the use of their media files directly. Please download files if you want to keep them using an external tool or integration.

I will close the issue now, but if there is anything else we can help with, please let us know.
