I've been trying to work with the profile URLs that I fetched from the Apify API. The URL opens correctly in the browser, but I can't pass it into my API because it doesn't recognize it as an image or valid image URL
Testing third parties API, it's the same: Insert image from url -> Image not found
Hi!
Issue might be caused by two reasons:
- part of image URL is lost by your API and URL become broken
- you opening image URL after it was expired
Explanation: full media URLs from Meta contain signature to prevent direct linking to media files and signature expire in 1-2 days. Means you need to open file by URL before expiration (soon enough) and you absolutely need to use exact URL, do not exclude or modify any of the URL parameters
In any case nothing can be done in this regards from actor code - URLs saved to dataset, how to handle them further is logic outside of actor's score.
I´m going to close the issue now, but if there would be anything else we could help with, please let us know.
