Image URL "displayURL" expiring
Closed
It seems that the display URL field expires after a certain period of time. Is there a way to have Apify continuously store these URLs so that I can access the URL and it will still show the image?
Hi!
All IG media URLs expire in 2-3 days at most; this is an Instagram security feature. If you would like to keep the files, please download them ASAP after scraping and host them somewhere.
I will close the issue now, but if there is anything else we can help with, please let us know.

Hi there! I have the same question. Since APIFY already downloads the image for the thumbnail, would it be possible to include that image link in the data output as well? Downloading anything from Instagram is always a bit tricky, so having that link would be super helpful. Thanks! 😊

Hi 😊
I'm afraid we only cache images temporarily, when those caches are invalidated we don't have the image either 😅. If you want a solution to download the images (or push them to S3) you can check lukaskrivka/images-download-upload 😌.
I hope this helps - I'll close this issue now, but feel free to reach out again if there is anything else we can help with 😊
