Expired Media Links

Question

Anybody knows how to fix as issue with expired instagram media links ? Im parsing media and after a few days/weeks/hours the links are expired. Maybe there is a way to use this links or fix somehow?

Answer 1

I had the same issue and this is how I solved it, in the instagram media api you can fetch the perma_link like https://www.instagram.com/p/Bt3QrphggBw/. Just add https://www.instagram.com/p/Bt3QrphggBw/media/?size=m. It will redirect to the proper image url.

EDIT 2021: This method is deprecated. Read this to learn how to use the new oEmbed Instagram API.
