Is there any change from Instagram API?

[stevenphan]

Previously I used the image link: https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1600x1200q70/924/c0mstf.png
It can post effectively, however, in the past 1-2 days, IG no longer accepts this link. Please let me know the reason and is there any effective way to fix it.

and many other processes are the same

It appears that Instagram requires the image to be in JPEG format, which is likely what's causing the issue.

Why can I use pabbly to upload photos?

Hello @stevenphan,

Yes, you can certainly use the File Uploader (Pabbly) to convert the file into a supported format. Based on the screenshot you shared, it appears that the URL is working correctly for you. Please let us know if you encounter any further issues.

If so, can I use the google drive link for my photos? However, will there be any changes in the future? Because I do a large quantity, it takes a long time to set up.

Hello @stevenphan,

Yes, you can use Google Drive URLs and convert them using the File Uploader. However, please note that the limitation around Google Drive file URLs being unsupported comes from Instagram’s end, not Pabbly.

If there are any updates or changes regarding this in the future, we’ll be sure to keep you informed.
