URL signature expired

Closed

Hello,

We've run scrapes on 1000+ IG accounts and initially had access to the image URLs of the posts. Now, none of them work and display the error: URL signature expired

I had set our Apify storage to 60 days and we still have 55+ days left on all the posts, but we're unable to use the images from this actor.

Is there a way to refresh the URLs and/or fix it so this doesn't happen again?

Thanks

Hi!

Its "meta" media, URL for it is a string and as such saved in Apify storage. URL itself includes a "signature" or encoded timestamp because Meta wants to avoid hot-linking to their media files outside of their web-mobile apps, so the signature should expire in 1-2 days and there is no way around it.

If you want to keep media, please download media files from scraped URLs and then host them yourself. When the URL signature expires the only way to restore the URL is to scrape again.

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